- Country:
- New Zealand
Pakistan captain Babar Azam has been ruled out of the second and final test against New Zealand in Christchurch after failing to recover sufficiently from a right thumb fracture, the country's cricket board said on Saturday.
Babar, 26, sustained the injury during a practice session in Queenstown and has now missed the three-match Twenty20 series and the two tests.
Mohammad Rizwan will continue to lead the touring side, who lost the opening test in Mount Maunganui by 101 runs.
