The West Indies are on their tour to New Zealand after having lost the series against Australia and India in this WTC cycle. Though they started off the series with a staggering draw, as Justin Greaves alongside Shai Hope saved them from the sixth crushing defeat, the Blackcaps bounced back in the very next game.
Fast bowlers have not been having the best of series in the New Zealand vs West Indies Test series. Throughout the Test series, pace bowlers have gone down, and unfortunately, the trend has taken over Kemar Roach, the most veteran pacer on the side.
The senior pro of the West Indies side pulled his hamstring in the 89th over of the game and did not take part in any of the morning warm-ups to start proceedings on Day 2. Later, he did not take the field as well.
Shai Hope was also left behind at the team hotel due to ill health
In addition to Kemar Roach, West Indies batter Shai Hope, one of the most dependable batters in the side, also had to be left behind in the team hotel on account of being unwell. The West Indies are trailing behind by a massive 575 runs in their batting innings on the back of Devon Conway's double-century.
The West Indies have suffered so many injuries that at one point, when Justin Greaves had to go off the field, Tauranga local boy Sebastian Heath had to come up and field for the West Indies as a substitute, since substitute fielders Ojay Shields and Tagenarine Chanderpaul were already struggling with niggles.
New Zealand have lost a pile of players due to injuries in this series
Blair Tickner, who came up for the second Test, had his participation cut short. Tom Blundell, on the other hand, was the only batter to have gone down with a hamstring injury on the first day of the series, but later recovered to be part of the third Test.
