T20 World Cup 2026 jolt for New Zealand: Lockie Ferguson’s injury raises fitness doubts
New Zealand's T20 World Cup preparations face a blow as Lockie Ferguson is injured. His participation in the 2026 tournament is uncertain. Meanwhile, India has named its ODI squad for the upcoming series against New Zealand. Key players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli return. Hardik Pandya is rested to manage his workload.
New Zealand's preparations for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 have suffered a setback, with veteran fast bowler Lockie Ferguson's participation now in doubt. The 34-year-old speedster sustained a calf injury while representing Desert Vipers in the ILT20, raising concerns about his fitness ahead of the marquee tournament in India and Sri Lanka.
Calf Injury During ILT20 Raises Red Flags
Ferguson picked up the injury while bowling against MI Emirates in an ILT20 league match in Dubai on December 21. Following medical assessments, he was ruled out for the remainder of the tournament, forcing Desert Vipers to hand over captaincy duties to England all-rounder Sam Curran.The injury has proven more serious than initially feared, with Ferguson also sidelined from the ongoing Big Bash League (BBL) 2025–26, further complicating his recovery timeline.
New Zealand's Pace Attack Under Pressure
Ferguson was expected to play a key role in New Zealand's upcoming five-match T20I series against India, scheduled ahead of the T20 World Cup. However, with his recovery still ongoing, his availability remains uncertain.Adding to New Zealand's worries, fellow pacer Will O'Rourke has already been ruled out due to a back injury, leaving the team's fast-bowling resources stretched at a crucial stage of preparations.
ICC World Cup Plans Face Uncertainty
With the T20 World Cup less than two months away, Ferguson's absence could significantly impact New Zealand's plans. Known for his express pace and death-over expertise, the right-arm quick has been a vital part of their white-ball setup over the years.India Announce ODI Squad for New Zealand Series

Young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal has also earned a place, while India have opted for two wicketkeepers, KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant.
Hardik Pandya Omitted, Workload Managed
Star all-rounder Hardik Pandya has been left out of the squad, with the BCCI's Centre of Excellence not clearing him to bowl the full quota of 10 overs. According to a BCCI media advisory, his workload is being carefully managed ahead of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup.Ruturaj Gaikwad, who impressed during India's ODI series against South Africa last year, also misses out this time.
