Hollioake out of first one-day clash
CricInfo - 8 February 2002
Ben Hollioake will miss next week's opening one-day international against New Zealand after tests were carried out on his troublesome left knee.
The all-rounder, 24, missed the last two ODIs in India because of the injury, which sparked fears that he might be forced out of the reminder of the tour.
But to Hollioake's relief, a scan yesterday revealed no cartilage defect, and he has been told to rest for a week, which rules him out of the first ODI of the five-match series in Christchurch.
Hollioake also missed today's opening warm-up match against a Northern
Districts XI under the lights of the WestpacTrust Park Stadium.
