Oram out for a month

6:20 pm on 5 March 2010

The Central Districts pace bowler Michael Mason has been added to the New Zealand one day cricket squad preparing for the second game of the Chappell-Hadlee series tomorrow in Auckland.

Mason replaces the all rounder Jacob Oram who suffered a partial tear of a knee ligament while fielding in the opening game in Napier on Wednesday night, and he'll be out of action for up to a month.

Ian Butler wasn't considered because of injury.
