May 1 : Mitchell Santner has been sidelined for a month by an injury to his left shoulder, New Zealand's cricket board (NZC) announced on Friday.
Santner sustained the injury while fielding for the Mumbai Indians in their Indian Premier League (IPL) defeat to Chennai Super Kings by 103 runs last week.
The all-rounder was assessed by a specialist on Friday after returning to New Zealand and was advised to undergo at least a month of rest and rehabilitation.
The 34-year-old will miss a one-off test against Ireland and the opening test of a three-match tour of England starting on June 4.
