Fulton adds to New Zealand worries

Adjust font size:

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados -- Peter Fulton added his name to New Zealand's growing injury list after he broke a finger during a World Cup warm-up match against Sri Lanka.

Fulton was taken to hospital after he broke the little finger on his left hand taking a catch during his Friday's match.

Although he held on to the ball to dismiss Kumar Sangakkara in New Zealand's 18-run victory at the 3Ws Oval, the effort could prove to be costly for the Black Caps' World Cup hopes.

All-rounder Jacob Oram has been nursing a broken finger on his left hand since last month and paceman Mark Gillespie has picked up a virus which has numbed his bowling right arm.

Captain Stephen Fleming admitted that Gillespie will "probably not" be able play in New Zealand's opening Group C World Cup fixture against England next Friday.
