New Zealand has been forced to constantly shuffle its pace lineup due to injuries to Matt Henry, Lockie Ferguson, and Blair Tickner during the India series. This lack of continuity contributed to a 2-3 T20I series loss and an 0-2 deficit in the ODIs, with a third match abandoned due to weather. Despite the squad's collective struggles, Jamieson found success by claiming three wickets on a supportive surface in Wellington. He is now focused on physical stability and maintaining rhythm ahead of an impending slate of Test matches.

Jamieson believes the repeated changes to the bowling combination have prevented the attack from developing the cohesion needed to challenge India consistently.
“It's a wee bit of frustration, right? You're trying to always put a similar attack out and you sort of can build that camaraderie and build that cohesion. We haven't had the reps (repetitions) that we'd like. But hopefully over the next couple of weeks we'll sort of all come out here together and get a good run of cricket together,” Jamieson was quoted…
