It's on in Australia next month, I think all four teams are sending over teams again. Here is the NZ squad:
Peter Fulton, captain, (Canterbury)
Nick Beard (Otago)
Hamish Bennett (Canterbury)
Te Ahu Davis (Northern Districts)
Colin de Grandhomme (Auckland)
Anaru Kitchen (Auckland)
Tarun Nethula (Auckland)
Jeet Raval (Auckland)
Lance Shaw (Auckland)
Tim Southee (Northern Districts)
Neil Wagner (Otago)
BJ Watling (Northern Districts)
Kane Williamson (Northern Districts)
George Worker (Central Districts)
Reece Young (Auckland)
Since it's an emerging players tournament there are a lot of younger guys, but our team looks strong. It's also good to hear that we will be playing against the three best teams in the world, so that can only help our younger players. Williamson should score bucket loads of runs over there, if he does he could be in with a shot of touring Sri Lanka. I'm surprised to see Neil Wagner in the team though, since he still has two years left to be eligble for NZ.
I'll do a write up later on some of the guys most of the people on here haven't heard about in the next few days.
The side will play a four-way tournament in Brisbane during July against an Australian Institute of Sport team, and Emerging Players sides from India and South Africa. The tournament includes two rounds of Twenty20 and six one-day matches plus finals.
NZ's Draw is here:
