New Zealand batter Bevon Jacobs has been ruled out of Tuesday's second T20I against South Africa at the Seddon Park due to a left knee injury, said New Zealand Cricket (NZC). 

NZC added that Katene Clarke would join the Blackcaps squad as a cover for Jacobs. Clarke was initially going to join the New Zealand team for fourth and fifth T20I games alongside Dane Cleaver, Jayden Lennox and Tom Latham.
