The 33-year-old picked up the injury while bowling his first over against MI Cape Town on Sunday.
Kyle Jamieson, who is currently with the T20I squad in India for the ongoing five-match series, has been named as his replacement. Jamieson was a travelling reserve with the World Cup squad. Teams can amend their World Cup squads until January 31.
“We’re all gutted for Adam. He’d worked so hard to get himself ready for the tournament and was looking back to his best in his eight games for the Eastern Cape Sunrisers. It’s unfortunate timing for Adam, and we wish him a speedy recovery,” New Zealand head coach Rob Walter said.
