Martin Guptill ruled out of India T20Is

Guptill walks back after being dismissed in the second ODI against India

Owing to back injury, Martin Guptill has been ruled out of the three-T20I series against India starting Wednesday (6th February).

"Unfortunately Martin hasn't recovered in time for this T20 series - which is very condensed with three games over five days. It's a shame as he's obviously a big part of our white-ball sides, but we've got to look at the big picture and ensure he gets the injury right," New Zealand coach Gary Stead said in a statement.

Martin Guptill will be replaced by James Neesham in the squad. Neesham was part of the ODI squad for the last two games, after recovering from a hamstring injury.
