Michael Bracewell ruled out of T20 World Cup after re-injuring calf

New Zealand's T20 World Cup campaign has been dealt a significant blow as off-spinning all-rounder Michael Bracewell has been ruled out of the tournament due to a re-injured calf muscle. This injury setback comes as Bracewell was expected to play a crucial role in the team's performance in the championship. In response to his absence, New Zealand selectors have named Cole McConchie as a travelling reserve, ready to step in if needed. McConchie brings valuable experience and skill to the squad, and his inclusion will add depth as the team prepares for the challenges ahead in India. New Zealand’s management will be closely monitoring the situation as they navigate through the group stages, hoping to secure a strong position despite this unfortunate loss. The team is looking to build on their recent performances and aim for a successful run in the World Cup, underscoring the importance of a cohesive and well-prepared squad in such competitive tournaments.
