New Zealand paceman Lockie Ferguson has been ruled out of the one-day international series against Sri Lanka after suffering a calf strain in the second Twenty20 match against the South Asians.

Despite a 1-0 lead in the two T20Is, the Lankans couldn't complete a series win over the Mitchell Santner-led Kiwis as it ended in a 1-1 stalemate. Thus, the home side will come hard in the upcoming three ODIs.
