New Zealand fast bowler Kyle Jamieson has encountered another setback in his cricketing journey, with scans revealing a new stress fracture on his back. This unfortunate injury is set to sideline him for at least another year, adding to the challenges he has faced in recent times.
The stress fracture, located in the same area where Jamieson underwent surgery last year, comes as a significant blow to the 29-year-old cricketer. While he won’t require surgery this time, the recovery process is expected to be lengthy, keeping him away from the game for an extended period.
Expressing his gratitude for the support he has received during this challenging time, Jamieson acknowledged the difficulties that come with injuries in a cricketer’s life. Despite the setback, he remains hopeful of returning to the field stronger and continuing his cricketing journey.
This setback marks another chapter in Jamieson’s frustrating battle with back issues over the past few years. Despite making a successful comeback post his previous injury, this latest setback will prevent him from participating in any cricketing action throughout the year 2024.
New Zealand head coach Gary Stead expressed his sympathy for Jamieson, highlighting the fast bowler’s determination to overcome obstacles and return to international cricket. Stead assured full support for Jamieson’s rehabilitation journey, emphasizing his unwavering resolve to continue representing New Zealand on the cricket field.
