Watling unable to field after suffering leg injury

BLACKCAPS batsman BJ Watling won’t take any further part in today’s One Day International after straining his left quadricep during the first innings of the match against the West Indies at Warner Park, St Kitts.

Watling sustained the injury while running between the wickets. He received treatment from the team physiotherapist when on five runs and managed to bat on before being dismissed for 40. Tom Latham will take over the wicket-keeping duties.

He will be monitored and assessed over the next 24 hours to determine his management and availability for the remainder of this series.
