http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jacob-David-Philip-Oram-c65198 to meet New Zealand Cricket to discuss his future
Jacob Oram, the New Zealand all-rounder, is scheduled to meet with the higher management of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 Cricket (NZC) on Friday, June 17, to determine his future in intentional cricket.
As the board is going to announce the list of new central contracts for the next season on July 1, Oram is eager to have contract for at least one more season.
In order to negotiate with him about his future, the board officials have called him in an important meeting featuring top figures of the Kiwi cricket, like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mark-John-Greatbatch-c74652.
The Kiwi all- rounder still considers himself quite fit for international cricket and wants to keep up his form.
He said, “My body isn't too bad and I still feel like I've got something to offer. Maybe more in terms of a mentoring-type role ... For this season at least. I'm not looking past this season."
Unsure of what the future holds for him, he stated, “I'd probably like to play one last game, or series or season with them."
Oram has been in good form since the start of the calender year. On the Indian pitches, he has displayed some marvellous performances with both the bat and ball during the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 Cricket World Cup 2011 and Indian Premier League’s 4th season (IPL).
The Black Caps finished the World Cup in the semi-final stage. In a memorable clash, Oram and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 at Pallekele.
Oram played just 2 games in the IPL 4, for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Paul-David-Collingwood-c81044. However, he delivered good performances in both the games.
Reflecting on his IPL experience, Oram considered it a great honour to rub shoulders with the Australian spin legend, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shane-Keith-Warne-c89672. He said, “It was awesome and that was one of the reasons I chose Rajasthan.”
Since his international debut in 2001, the 32-year-old all-rounder has played 33 Tests, 151 ODIs and 27 T20Is so far.
