Micheal Bracewell Ruled Out Of ODI World Cup: New Zealand has experienced yet another setback ahead of the World Cup, as talented all-rounder Michael Bracewell has been ruled out of the ODI World Cup 2032 to be held in India later this year. He suffered an injury during the Vitality T20 Blast and will be out for 6 to 8 months with a ruptured Achilles.



In the month leading up to the ODI World Cup, Bracewell is New Zealand's second major injury setback. The Kiwis are already anticipating the absence of their talismanic captain Kane Williamson, who suffered an injury while playing for Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League.



According to a press statement from New Zealand Cricket, Micheal Bracewell is set to undergo surgery in the UK on Thursday before starting his prolonged recovery, making him ineligible for the 2023 World Cup, which is slated to be played in October-November in India.

The 32-year-old Micheal Bracewell was shaping up to be a crucial part of the New Zealand team for the ODI World Cup in India, and coach Gary Stead acknowledged that they will miss his "exceptional skills."



"Firstly, you always feel for the player when injury strikes and especially when it means they will have to miss a world event. Michael Bracewell?s a great team man and has had a fantastic 15 months for the BLACKCAPS since his international debut,? Stead said.



?We?ve seen his exceptional skills in all three facets of the game and he was shaping as an important player for us at the world cup in India."



?Michael?s naturally pretty disappointed, but also pragmatic in acknowledging that injuries are a part of the sport and he?s now turning his focus to his rehabilitation,? he added.



Micheal Bracewell won't be able to make it home for a few weeks after surgery. He has been abroad from New Zealand since April after getting called up to play in the IPL. During July 26?28 and August 9?11, the BLACKCAPS will host parallel winter training camps in Lincoln and Tauranga.

World Cup 2023: Micheal Bracewell Ruled Out Of ODI World Cup Due To Achilles Injury

PAK vs NZ T20I Series: New Zealand Cricket have announced their T2O squad for the Pakistan Tour and Micheal Bracewell is named as the captain for the series. 



New Zealand Cricket Board have announced a 15-membered squad for a 5-match T20I series in Pakistan in April 2024. The New Zealand tour of Pakistan only consists of a T20I Series and this will work as a good rehearsal for the Pakistan team before the T20 World Cup 2024.



This series is being played amid the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 so some big names like Kane Williamson, Glenn Phillips, Trent Boult and more are missing from the squad.

However, a few well-known faces are available and are named in the squad. The likes of Finn Allen, Tim Seifert, Adam Milne, and Jimmy Neesham are fully fit and available to make a stable core for the team.

Players who were unavailable for selection of PAK vs NZ T20I Series due to IPL commitments are:



Trent Boult, Devon Conway, Lockie Ferguson, Matt Henry, Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra, Mitch Santner, and Kane Williamson.



Tim Southee was not considered for selection in order to give him time to rest and recuperate from a hectic playing schedule across formats, while Will Young was also not eligible for selection due to his decision to sign a winter deal with Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club.

The New Zealand cricket team will be captained by Michael Bracewell in Pakistan. Bracewell hasn't represented New Zealand since March of last year after breaking his finger and rupturing his right Achilles while playing for Worcestershire in the T20 Blast in June.



Head selector Sam Well said: "Michael has faced a long period on the sideline and it's exciting to see him back playing cricket again. He?s a well-respected leader and has captaincy experience for Wellington along with New Zealand A and New Zealand XI teams, which we believe holds him in good stead to lead the group in Pakistan.?
