New Zealand Pacer Granted Paternal Leave; Set To Return Home Following T20 World Cup Super 8 Match Against England
New Zealand is currently locking horns with England for their second T20 World Cup Super 8 match at the Premadasa Stadium, Colombo. With three points in their last Super 8 matches, a win against England will help them to secure a top position in the group and qualify for the World Cup semi-final.
Notably, even if they lose against England, it will come down to the Net Run Rate against Pakistan, who have managed one point in their last two games and can only manage to get a maximum of four points in their last match.
Depending on the qualification for the semi-final, New Zealand pacer Matt Henry might return to the T20 World Cup, as he has been granted paternal leave and is set to leave following their match against England.
