Blackcaps to play it safe with Lockie Ferguson with Twenty20 World Cup loomingThe Blackcaps are taking a cautious approach with the fitness of quick bowler Lockie Ferguson, wary of any injuries as the Twenty20 World Cup in Australia fast approaches. Another injury would be a cruel twist for Ferguson, who was ruled out of last year's T20 World Cup in the UAE with a calf injury. "The important thing for us is we get to the start of the World Cup and Lockie's ready to go.

The Blackcaps begin their tri-series against Pakistan in Christchurch on Saturday, who defeated Bangladesh by 21 runs in the opening match on Friday.
