Calf injury sidelines Oram from ODI series against Proteas Wellington, Feb 22 : Kiwi all rounder Jacob Oram will not feature in the final Twenty20 and the subsequent one-day series against South Africa after going out with a calf injury.

 New Zealand will play the final match of the Twenty20 series at Eden Park in Auckland tonight before starting a three-match ODI series against the Proteas in Wellington on Saturday. (ANI)
