New Zealand allrounder Corey Anderson
has been ruled out of the remainder of the Sri Lanka tour to begin
rehabilitation on the rib injury which ruled him out of the second ODI
in Hambantota.
Anderson underwent an MRI scan of his side on Wednesday, which ruled out
any major damage. He is being flown back to New Zealand as a
precautionary measure and will miss the third and final ODI on Saturday
and the two T20s.
"Corey felt pain in his right side while bowling during the first ODI.
Post-match assessment indicated a minor case of rib impingement," New
Zealand physiotherapist Paul Close said. "We decided it's in Corey's
best interest to return home and focus on making a full recovery for the
series against West Indies."
New Zealand did seek any replacement for Anderson for the remaining games. New Zealand lead the three-match ODI series 1-0.
