New Zealand all-rounder Nathan Smith has been ruled out of the second and the final Test against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo due to an abdominal strain, which he picked on the second day of the series opener while batting and had to retire hurt. Smith didn't take the field in the rest of the game and the scans confirmed a strain, which may now take up to a month to fully recover. source https://www.indiatvnews.com/sports/cricket/nathan-smith-ruled-out-of-2nd-zimbabwe-test-due-to-injury-new-zealand-announce-replacement-2025-08-04-1001865
