Seam bowler Adam Milne ruled out of rest of the Cricket World Cup

New Zealand suffer Milne injury

New Zealand fast bowler Adam Milne will miss the rest of the Cricket World Cup with a heel injury.

Milne had been suffering with the problem for the past two weeks, but it worsened during the Black Caps' quarter-final success over the West Indies.

The 22-year-old has taken five wickets in the tournament, and his pace is seen as one of the key reasons behind New Zealand's success.

Matt Henry has been drafted into the squad to replace him for tomorrow's semi-final with South Africa.
