New Zealand name ODI and T20 squad for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 series – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World T20 championship in Sri Lanka, and have a fair idea of the playing conditions over there.
Left-arm fast bowler Trent Boult and all-rounders Andrew Ellis and Tom Latham are the only three players in the side who were not part of the World T20 squad.
Former skipper and veteran all-rounder http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Auckland-c766 Aces, playing in the Champions League T20, has not been included in the side to manage his workload, while Doug Bracewell has been left out to allow him to work on some technical issues ahead of Test series, revealed Littlejohn.
“It has been a demanding period for the Blackcaps, especially for the players who compete in all three forms,” Littlejohn told media reporters. “As part of the on-going management of player workload we have decided to rest http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Guptill-c1980 for the T20 and ODI matches so he can refresh for the upcoming international commitments.”
“http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Doug-Bracewell-c1394 will miss the short-form matches so he can spend some time working on a few minor technical issues with his action. The best approach is to spend time getting things right in domestic four-day cricket ahead of the Test series,” he added further.
The Black Caps are scheduled to play a one-off T20 International and five One Day Internationals during a month-long tour of Island nation, from October 30 to November 29.
The tour begins with a T20 International at Pallekele on October 30, before five ODIs from November 1 to 12. The limited-overs series will be followed by two Tests, at Galle and Colombo. The NZC selectors also named a separate squad for the five-day series, with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Todd-Astle-c2697 as the only uncapped player in the 15-man touring party.
