Latham in doubt for WC opener against Sri Lanka

A fractured finger has put wicket-keeper batsman Tom Latham’s participation in New Zealand’s opening game at the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2019 in doubt.

New Zealand are set to play a brace of official warm-up matches, against India at The Oval on 25 May, and against West Indies in Bristol on 28 May, before launching their tournament proper against Sri Lanka on 1 June in Cardiff.

According to a report on stuff.co.nz, Latham’s availability for all three clashes is under a cloud, though he is understood to be healing and to have been cleared to travel to England and Wales with the rest of the squad on Sunday, 19 May.
