Ravindra landed awkwardly on the safety mat while attempting the catch during filming and underwent initial assessments on Friday and medical specialists cleared any major structural damage.
“It was a really unfortunate injury,” New Zealand performance manager Mike Sandle said. “We’re gutted for Rachin and our key priority is making sure he recovers well and gets back on the field as soon as he can.
“As with all commercial shoots involving our players, the activities were agreed in advance by all parties, with appropriate safety measures in place. It was a bit of a freak accident, and we’ll continue to review our processes around events like this in the future.”
Head coach Rob Walter said New Zealand were not going to rush Ravindra back.
“With a heavy schedule of Test cricket in the next six months, we don’t want to rush Rachin back sooner than we need to,” he said. “He’s in great hands in terms of his rehab and we look forward to welcoming him back soon.”
