Martin Guptill ruled out of India T20Is
Owing to back injury, Martin Guptill has been ruled out of the three-T20I series against India starting Wednesday (6th February).
"Unfortunately Martin hasn't recovered in time for this T20 series - which is very condensed with three games over five days. It's a shame as he's obviously a big part of our white-ball sides, but we've got to look at the big picture and ensure he gets the injury right," New Zealand coach Gary Stead said in a statement.
Martin Guptill will be replaced by James Neesham in the squad. Neesham was part of the ODI squad for the last two games, after recovering from a hamstring injury.
