Will O'Rourke Ruled Out of India Series, Targets Return for Australia Tests
New Zealand pacer Will O'Rourke will miss the upcoming multi-format series against India due to ongoing rehabilitation from left hamstring and calf injuries. Initially expected to play in the five ODIs and two Tests, the decision was made as a precaution to ensure his full recovery. New Zealand coach Rob Walter expressed disappointment but emphasized prioritizing O'Rourke's fitness ahead of the four-match Test series against Australia starting in December. O'Rourke had previously returned from a back stress fracture earlier this year but suffered further injuries during the England series and training.
