  "account": "New Zealand fast bowler Matt Henry will not take part in the remaining T20Is against India and will join the ODI squad, the country's cricket board announced on Sunday. Henry bowled only two overs in the second T20I on Saturday before leaving the field. Lockie Ferguson, another fast bowler, also left the field and will not play in the third T20I in Wellington. Henry will stay in Christchurch and join the ODI squad on November 2 in Auckland, while Ferguson will travel to Auckland to rejoin the squad for the final two T20Is at Eden Park and Seddon Park. Fast bowling all-rounder Kyle Jamieson, who has not played in the current series, will play the third T20I but then return to Wellington to play for Canterbury in a Ford Trophy game. New Zealand coach Rob Walter said the series has been competitive and that the team has depth to manage the workload of their bowlers. New Zealand is trailing the series 2-0, with India winning the first and second T20Is. The third T20I will be played in Wellington, followed by the fourth in Auckland, and the series will conclude in Hamilton. The ODI series will begin on November 4, followed by a two-match Test series on November 19.",
