Rachin Ravindra will miss out on the Chappell-Hadlee trophy T20I series against the Aussies after suffering a freak injury during a fielding practice session recently.
However, before the series, they have lost several players to injuries, with the latest one being Rachin Ravindra, who has enjoyed a great run with the bat in T20Is in 2025, scoring four 30-plus scores in the last five outings.
Meanwhile, in an official statement released by NZC, it was mentioned that the young all-rounder collided with a perimeter boundary hoarding during fielding practice. Even though Rachin passed the concussion tests, he suffered a facial laceration, which required stitches and will take time to heal.
“We’re all really disappointed for Rachin to be forced to miss the series. He sustained a major laceration to his upper lip and nose area which required specialist and intricate stitching and will take time to heal.
