Kiwi quick stiff to be side-lined from ODI series

Fast bowler Kyle Jamieson has been ruled out of New Zealand's one-day international series with England because of stiffness in his side.

New Zealand Cricket said on Saturday the 30-year-old will miss the three-match series, which starts on Sunday in Mount Maunganui.

Jamieson is aiming to return for November's series against West Indies.

"Kyle experienced some stiffness in his side after bowling today and we didn't want to take any risks at this stage of the summer," coach Rob Walter said.

"We felt it was best for him to sit out this one-day series and give himself the best chance of being ready for the West Indies tour, which starts on November 5 in Auckland."
