The aggressive batsman had already been ruled out of the ongoing test matches but it was hoped he would be fit for the five-match one-day international series starting on December 26.

All-rounder Kieron Pollard is also out of the series after failing to get over a knee injury in time.

Nine of the players in the test side will stay on for the one-day series with the remaining six players arriving in New Zealand from a week-long training camp next week.
