WELLINGTON (Reuters) - New Zealand's left-arm seamer Trent Boult has been ruled out of the third test against South Africa and been replaced in the squad by the uncapped Scott Kuggeleijn.

Boult failed to recover sufficiently from a groin injury and his withdrawal is another big loss for New Zealand's pace attack after Tim Southee was withdrawn on Thursday with a minor hamstring strain.
