You already know that New Zealand has lost their regular opener Jesse Ryder through a groin injury that he picked up during Kiwis’ 38-run win over Sri Lanka in a do-or-die group stage match of ICC Champions Trophy 2009. Aaron Redmond has now been called up to replace Ryder and the Otago opener has already reached South Africa for the rest of the tournament.
New Zealand has a crunch game against England tomorrow that they have to win in order to ensure their semi final progress. A defeat would eliminate New Zealand from the group stage of Champions league.
So, it seems that Aaron Redmond may get his ODI debut in a very important game and if so, he will feel some pressure of replacing an inform batsman like Ryder. He has already played 7 tests and 3 T20 matches for New Zealand and is now waiting for his ODI debut.
