The 27-year-old has cemented his place in the Test setup, but is still finding his groove in limited-overs formats for the national team. He cited the challenges associated with bio-bubbles, rigid scheduling and an opportunity to hone his skills as reasons behind his absence from IPL.

Speaking during a media interaction on the eve of Auckland’s Plunket Shield opener against the Northern Districts, Jamieson said:

The all-rounder continued:

He added:

Kyle Jamieson, who was recently seen in the home series against Bangladesh, is expected to be part of the squad that faces South Africa.

The all-rounder was roped in by the RCB for a sum of ₹15 crore in the 2021 IPL auctions. He had a rather good start to his career in the IPL. His high release point and slower deliveries proved to be handy for the team in their initial leg in Chennai.

Jamieson, however, struggled as the tournament progressed and found himself on the sidelines in the second leg in the UAE.

The pacer concluded:

The 27-year-old has 15 Test appearances under his belt, but has only represented New Zealand in 5 T20Is and a solitary ODI.
