Daryl Mitchell will not travel to Napier with the BLACKCAPS today and will instead undergo a scan on his left groin in Christchurch this morning.
Mitchell experienced discomfort in his thigh while scoring his seventh ODI century in yesterday’s seven-run win over West Indies at Hagley Oval, and did not return to the field for the second innings.
Mitchell will undergo a scan this morning which will determine the likelihood of his involvement in the remainder of the ODI series.
Canterbury batter Henry Nicholls has been called into the squad as cover and will assemble with the squad in Napier today.
Nicholls has been in hot from for Canterbury in the domestic Ford Trophy competition, leading the run-scoring charts with 306 runs at 76.50, including back-to-back centuries (117* and 138*) in rounds one and three against Otago and Auckland.
The BLACKCAPS relocate from Christchurch to Napier this afternoon, ahead of the second Chemist Warehouse ODI against West Indies at McLean Park on Wednesday.
