Trent Boult out of SCG Test after fracturing hand - chairman - 12-28-2019
New Zealand's sorry Australian tour took another turn for the worse as Trent Boult was ruled out of the third and final Test in Sydney with a fracture on his right hand, sustained while batting.
Boult had been struck on the gloves by Mitchell Starc at the back-end of New Zealand's first innings at the MCG, and went to hospital for x-rays during the tea break. The results confirmed a fracture, meaning Boult will fly home after the Melbourne Test and be out for at least four weeks, although he did return to bowl towards the end of the day.
