Fast bowler Kyle Jamieson has been ruled out for the rest of the season after scans revealed a stress fracture in his back, New Zealand Cricket announced on Saturday.

The 29-year-old is not expected to play again until next summer, meaning he will miss New Zealand's two-test series against Australia when it starts later this month.

"The last few days have been some of my most challenging but I am hugely grateful for the support I've received from my partner, family, teammates, support staff and medical professionals," said Jamieson.
