WELLINGTON, New Zealand — New Zealand fast bowler Ben Sears has been ruled out of the Champions Trophy tournament in Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates with a hamstring tear. Sears suffered the injury in training in Karachi. Scan results have shown a minor tear which would keep Sears out of action for two weeks. It is the latest setback for the 27-year-old who only recently returned from a knee injury.
