Overview
- The 31-year-old slow left-arm orthodox spinner came into the XI as a direct replacement for leg-spinner Adithya Ashok for the second ODI.
- Captain Michael Bracewell introduced him in the 10th over, and his first over cost just two runs, including a wide.
- During the 18th over he left the field with a bleeding left palm after attempting to stop a Virat Kohli drive, with reports noting he had conceded 18 runs in five overs at that point.
- Head coach Rob Walter called Lennox an “identified player of interest,” citing New Zealand A experience and consistent domestic white-ball performances.
- His domestic ledger features 69 List A wickets and 60 T20 wickets, and his varied off-field jobs highlighted on LinkedIn drew attention after his selection.
