http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Geoffrey-Miller-c58870, England's national selector, said, "Following on from the ODI tour to India, the tour to New Zealand will require players to adapt to different conditions and will prove a real challenge for the squad as we look to continue the progress we have made in limited-overs cricket recently."

We feel this is the best way of keeping players as physically and mentally fresh as possible during a demanding 2013 and beyond," he added further.
