T20 World Cup 2026: The New Zealand team has suffered a big setback in the T20 World Cup 2026. The team’s star fast bowler Lockie Ferguson has returned home after the beach tournament. He had played a match for the team against South Africa but now he will not be available for the match against Canada. The last match of the group stage is very important for the New Zealand team because out of the 3 matches played so far, the team has won 2 and lost one. In such a situation, let us also tell you why Ferguson has decided to return home before this important match.

Ferguson is going to be a father

Lockie Ferguson’s wife Emma is going to give birth to their first child and on this special occasion he wants to spend time with the family. Due to this, he will also miss some matches of the tournament. New Zealand coach Rob Walter said, “This is a very special time for Lockie and Emma. We are happy that they are going home on this occasion. At this time we are not including any replacement in their place in the team as according to the plan they will return by the Super 8 matches. But our traveling reserves Ben Sears and Cole McConchie are fully ready to join the squad.”

Ferguson is an important bowler for the Kiwi team

Lockie Ferguson is a leading fast bowler for New Zealand. His experience and speed can trouble big batsmen and his statistics are testimony to this. So far, he has taken 70 wickets in 47 T20 matches for the Kiwi team, while his average has been 17.67. He can prove to be a trump card for the team in Super 8 matches. He has taken 4 wickets in his name in 3 matches played so far in this tournament.
