As per ESPNcricinfo, the 30-year-old complained of experiencing pain in his left side during training last week.

    Henry's injury isn't overly serious: Gary Stead

    NZ head coach Gary Stead said they wanted to avoid a significant risk regarding Henry. "Although the injury is not overly serious, we felt there was a significant risk it would become worse through playing. With the upcoming ODI series starting on Wednesday and consisting of three games over five days, we saw it as prudent to bring in a fully fit replacement."

    Sears is a promising campaigner in limited-overs
