NZ Opener Plimmer Ruled Out For Rest Of The Year Due To A Bone Stress Reaction In Groin
New Zealand Cricket: New Zealand women’s opener Georgia Plimmer has been ruled out of competitive cricketing action for the remainder of the year after sustaining a bone stress reaction in her groin.
New Zealand Cricket (NZC) said in a statement on Sunday that Georgia experienced pain in her left hip joint during the side’s ODI series against India in Ahmedabad last month, where she made 105 runs in three matches. “A subsequent MRI scan and assessment by a specialist upon return to New Zealand confirmed the injury,” it added.
The injury means Georgia, who amassed 150 runs in six innings at a strike-rate of 119.04 in New Zealand’s title-winning run in this year’s ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in the UAE, will be unavailable for the upcoming home ODI series against Australia, as well as miss out on playing in 50-over and 20-over domestic cricket competitions.
