Neesham has a splint on and will be reviewed by a hand specialist in a week's time. The 30-year-old posted a picture of his finger and hoped for a comeback before the Super Smash finals in early February for Wellington.

"James Neesham has a confirmed compound dislocation (exposure of joint surfaces) of his left ring finger. He underwent surgery on Saturday night and has been put in a splint," Cricket Wellington said in a tweet.
