Hamilton Fast bowler Kristian Clarke has been called up to the New Zealand squad as cover for Blair Tickner ahead of the third ODI against India in Hamilton on Tuesday (November 10, 2026) as the home team battles multiple injury concerns in the ongoing series. Pacer Lockie Ferguson has been ruled out of the fourth and fifth ODIs after failing to fully recover from a low-grade tear in his right calf sustained during the T20I series, New Zealand Cricket said in a press release.
Tickner was struck by a ball while batting during the second ODI against India. He has since been cleared of concussion but, having been replaced in the playing XI by Matt Fisher, he must serve the ICC's mandatory seven-day stand-down period from the date of the match before returning to international cricket.
Matt Henry, who was initially cleared of concussion following his collision with Devon Conway in Auckland, was reassessed in Wellington and advised to target a return for the fourth ODI.
