Other notable inclusions come in the shape of the uncapped http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ambati-Rayudu-c1007, both of whom had impressive stints at Indian Premier League season five.
New Zealand have announced their probable 30-man squad for the upcoming World T20 Cup, which sees the inclusion of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DL-Vettori-c1384 after the former captain had recently declared his intentions to make a return despite quitting the format last year.

The Proteas are currently in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 to play a three-match Test series, and victory will propel them to the summit of Test cricket. However, Anderson is determined in helping his side strengthen their hold on the no.1 ranked status when the first game starts at the Oval on July 19th.
"We've been playing really well at home, but this is going to be our toughest challenge for a while," Anderson said. "But we are still confident going into it. There's not going to be time to ease into the series. We're going to have to be on top of our game from the first minute.”
