New Zealand fast bowler Adam Milne has said that he is 'pretty gutted' to be out of the squad for six weeks with a side strain just as he had come into top form.
Milne excelled in the Twenty20 series against the West Indies and one-day series against India this month, cracking the 150km barrier but he broke down with a side strain in the first one-day game against India on Sunday.
According to Stuff.co.nz, Milne said that he is devastated to miss the games against India as he had got a few games bowling and was just starting to play better, although he added that injuries are a part and parcel of bowling fast.
Against Indian batting star Virat Kohli, Milne fired one down at 153.4 km, a mark he was around against the West Indies and had started to consistently hit 150 kmh, although he felt a pinch in his side during New Zealand's 24-run win over India in Napier, the report added.
