Bracewell out for two months with knee injury
Bracewell ruled out of New Zealand's home Test and ODI series against Bangladesh due to injury.
WELLINGTON (Reuters) - New Zealand pace bowler Doug Bracewell will be sidelined from international cricket for up to two months after suffering a serious knee injury during a domestic Twenty20 match.
The 26-year-old tore his anterior cruciate ligament when fielding for Central Districts Stags against the Northern Knights over the weekend, local media reported.
The injury rules Bracewell out of New Zealand s home test and limited overs series against Bangladesh later this month and in January and possibly the three-match one-day series against Australia from Jan. 30-Feb. 5.
Bracewell, who was overlooked by selectors for the Pakistan test series, last played for the Black Caps in a one-day international against India in October.
