Todd Astle ruled out of Christchurch Test
Todd Astle has been ruled out of the second and final Test against England in Christchurch, it was confirmed on Wednesday (March 28). Ish Sodhi will replace the legspinner.
Astle suffered a side strain during the historic Day-Night fixture in Auckland and won't recover in time to be fit for the second Test. He played a crucial role in dismantling the England batting in the second innings as the hosts cantered to a massive innings win to take a 1-0 lead.
