"The bowler dislocated his shoulder while trying to stop a boundary on Day 1 at the Basin Reserve"
Blair Tickner will miss the rest of New Zealand's second Test against West Indies at Basin Reserve after dislocating his shoulder on day one while heroically diving for a boundary.
The seamer led the attack brilliantly with 4-32, but in the 67th over, his dive at fine-leg ended in agony. Teammates and medics rushed to him amid warm crowd applause as he left the field.
Pace Spearhead Sidelined
Tickner is unlikely to bat or bowl further, pending specialist checks. He'll rejoin the squad at the ground for assessment on his comeback timeline. New Zealand now lean on their remaining attack to wrap up the West Indies innings and push for victory.
