#5 NZ's Tom Latham to miss T20I series against India

Tom Latham will be out of action for four weeks with a broken finger.

New Zeland opener Tom Latham was ruled out for four weeks following a broken finger sustained during the second innings of the third Test match against Australia. Latham, who was the stand-in captain in the third Test, lead an injury-laden NZ side that made five changes for the final Test.

Latham's injury ruled him out of the five-match T20I series against India beginning January 24 but the NZ camp is hopeful of his return for the ODI and the Test series.
