New Zealand pace bowler Kyle Jamieson will have to undergo a back surgery following the recurrence of an injury which had forced him to miss competitive cricket for more than nine months.

Jamieson was expected to return for the Blackcaps' ongoing two-Test series against England after last playing the five-day format in June 2022. However, due to the recurrence of the injury, and the impending surgery, the 28-year-old's wait to get back to full fitness has got a lot longer.
