New Zealand Cricket has today confirmed that Jacob Oram has a calf injury that will see him ruled out for the remainder of The National Bank Twenty20 and ODI series.
Oram has had minor discomfort since his last ODI against Zimbabwe with scans revealing a strain to left calf muscle.
New Zealand Cricket Physiotherapist Paul Close said: “Although it’s a relatively minor calf injury the congested nature of the series means Jake won’t be available for the ODIs”
Jacob Oram said: “It’s hugely disappointing to miss playing against South Africa. I felt pretty good in the matches against Zimbabwe and was looking forward to the series.
“I hate missing matches for New Zealand but I'm confident I can return to cricket injury-free following a course of rehabilitation. I hope to be back playing in about a fortnight.”
