The Bangladesh fast bowler Mashrafe Mortaza will not play the limited overs cricket series in New Zealand.
A fever prevented Mortaza from making the flight over late last week and coach Jamie Siddons has confirmed that he is now unavailable.
Mortaza has only just returned after a lenghty injury break and Siddons feels this will have set back his preperations a few weeks.
The series starts with a Twenty20 match in Hamilton tomorrow night.
