end of innings, he could not bat a complete innings and was retired hurt after only facing 11 deliveries.
The New Zealand Cricket (NZC) confirmed that the Wellington-born right-handed middle-order batsman has been ruled out of Sunday’s T20I, at Lauderhill, and is also a doubtful starter for next week’s One Day International series.
"Unfortunately, Ross sustained a grade two injury to his left AC joint during the game," Blackcaps’ Physiotherapist, Paul Close said in an official statement, after his side lost the match by 56 runs.
"It was confirmed by the x-ray and MRI scan completed at the hospital. At this stage the injury looks like it will exclude him from selection for tomorrow's match and for the first part of the ODI series," he added further.
The physio however, turned down the notion of sending Taylor back home for rehab, saying that the best course of action was to keep the injured skipper with the squad while he recovers, allowing him to be monitored and treated on a daily basis.
"Essentially we want to promote the healing process and gradually introduce him to his skill training and get the strength and stability back around his shoulder," Close explained.
