London: A day after losing the first Test, New Zealand suffered a setback as pacer Colin de Grandhomme has been ruled out of the second and third Test against England due to an injury.
De Grandhomme pulled short during the first Test after suffering a suspected tear to his right plantar fascia, the ligament which connects the heel bone to the toes while bowling in the 2nd session of Day 3 on Sunday.
He underwent an MRI scan on Monday which ruled him out for 10 to 12 weeks and will now also miss New Zealand's upcoming white-ball tour of Ireland, Scotland and the Netherlands.
