Vettori undergoes scan after injury
DUBAI: New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori was given the all-clear on Thursday after undergoing a scan on a head injury suffered during the second One-day International against Pakistan, a team official said.
The 30-year-old was ruled out of the first Twenty20 game here on Thursday after the incident brought on vomiting, but New Zealand manager Dave Currie said Vettori was given all-clear.
"The scan report is clear, but Vettori had concussion and will be continuously monitored. He will not be available for the second Twenty20 match on Friday," said Currie.
Vettori was hit on the grill of the helmet and had not felt well in the last few days.
He vomited on Thursday afternoon, so on doctor"s advice was sent for a CT scan.
"The doctors have advised a couple of weeks rest," said Currie. That advice leaves Vettori in doubt for the first of three Tests against Pakistan starting at Dunedin on November 25.
The injury-hit New Zealanders had just 12 players to choose from before the first of the two Twenty20 Internationals.
