Black Caps test captain Tom Latham has been ruled out of the second Test against Zimbabwe after failing to recover from his left shoulder injury.

Latham, who was withdrawn from the first test, had been rehabilitating the injury but was unable to pass a fitness test on the eve of

Auckland Aces batter Bevon Jacobs, who has been playing cricket in Johannesburg, has been called in as fielding and batting cover.

Black Caps head coach Rob Walter said it was unfortunate to lose Latham.

“It’s hugely disappointing to lose Tom again.
