Wellington: New Zealand pacer Tim Southee has sustained an ankle injury and is doubtful for the second Test match against Sri Lanka in the Basin Reserve.
He, however, will undergo a fitness test before the match starts Saturday.
Southee, who claimed six wickets in the eight-wicket win over the tourists in Christchurch, has what skipper Brendon McCullum described as a “slight ankle issue”. “We’ll see how he pulls up in the morning,” McCullum told AAP. Southee has so far picked up 134 wickets from 38 Tests. (IANS)
