Black Cap Neil Wagner could be done for summer after injuring back (Stuff.co.nz)

Black Caps' veteran won't bowl on Sunday at Hagley Oval, raising doubts about whether he'll feature again this summer.

NZ Cricket confirmed he won’t take the field on Sunday in Sri Lanka’s second dig. Should Bracewell play in Wellington it would be a special occasion for the Bracewell family, lining up alongside his cousin Michael in a test for the first time. [He bowled New Zealand to their first test win against their trans-Tasman rivals since 1993](https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/cricket/300471956/sour-australian-faces-the-day-the-black-caps-ended-26-years-of-hurt-in-hobart), taking 6-40 in the second innings and 9-60 for the match. Wagner bowled the next delivery, but was in clear discomfort and forced from the field. With Wagner in doubt for the Basin, Doug Bracewell could be in contention for his first test since August 2016 against South Africa in Centurion. Wagner will be in a race against time to be ready for the second test against Sri Lanka, which starts at the Basin Reserve on Friday – New Zealand’s last red ball match of the home summer.
