The Black Caps could be bracing for further changes to their squad on the eve of cricket's Champions Trophy

A Zoom media conference involving head coach Gary Stead has twice been delayed, with a spokesperson saying they are awaiting news on a team update.

Ben Sears has already been ruled out of the tournament and replaced by Jacob Duffy - with Lockie Ferguson and Rachin Ravindra also carrying injuries in the last fortnight.

Wicketkeeper Tom Latham says they are otherwise ready to go for their opener against Pakistan tomorrow night.
