A groin strain has ruled out leg-spinner Todd Astle from the New Zealand's upcoming ODI and T20 series against India. Fellow spinner Ish Sodhi, who was originally only named in the T20 squad, will replace Astle in the ODI side. Astle suffered the injury in a warm-up game between the Black Caps and a President Board's XI in Mumbai on Tuesday. Further assessment and a scan confirmed Astle to have suffered a tear on his right side, which will see him ruled out for around three weeks. Coach Mike Hesson said it was cruel timing for Astle.
