Black Caps Paceman Sidelined for Remainder of Zimbabwe Tour

According to the news, New Zealand cricketer Will O'Rourke has been ruled out of the second Test against Zimbabwe due to a back injury. O'Rourke sustained the injury after taking 3 wickets for 28 runs in the second innings of the first Test, which New Zealand won by 9 wickets.

As a result, O'Rourke will be returning to New Zealand for treatment, leaving the Black Caps squad for the remainder of the Zimbabwe tour. However, the team has already brought in uncapped left-arm seamer Ben Lister as injury cover, and he will stay with the squad for the second and final Test, which starts on Thursday at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo.

The loss of O'Rourke is a blow for New Zealand, as he had performed well in the first Test. But the team will be hoping that Lister can step up and contribute in the absence of the injured paceman.
