“He’s all right. It’s an injury he’s had before, so he knows how to manage it really well. The priority is ensuring our key players are fully fit for the semi-final on March 4. However, we also don’t want to keep them out for too long, considering we’ve already had a week off.”
He further added:
“We might look to rotate the bowling workload slightly, but we also want to maintain momentum and secure a top spot in the group. Balancing player workload and the importance of winning against New Zealand is something we are considering.”
