New Zealand’s 30 man squad for the World Cup 2011 includes six uncapped players. Jacob Oram, who has been suffering from his injury-ridden career has also been picked in the squad. This might mark his comeback after a long break from cricket.
The six uncapped players that have been named in the preliminary squad are fast bowler Adam Milne, Luke Woodcock, Dean Brownlie who have got their international call up for the T20 matches against Pakistan. Rob Nicol of Canterbury and Doug Bracewell of Central Districts, also nephew of former New Zealand player and Coach John Bracewell are the new guns named in the squad along with the wicketkeeper Reece Young, who will be replacing Gerath Hopkins for the tests against Paksitan.
They are among the top players who have excelled in the domestic cricket to find a spot in the international squad. It would be a tough and exciting job to select the best 15 out of such a talented bunch of cricketers, chief selector Mark Greatbatch said. The squad will be reduced to 15 by 19th of January.
Preliminary Squad: Brent Arnel, Hamish Bennett, Doug Bracewell, Dean Brownlie, Ian Butler Grant Elliott, Daniel Flynn, Martin Guptill, Jamie How, James Franklin, Kyle Mills, Adam Milne, Brendon McCullum, Nathan McCullum, Peter McGlashan, Andy McKay, Rob Nicol, Jacob Oram, Jeetan Patel, Jesse Ryder, Tim Southee, Shanan Stewart, Scott Styris, Ross Taylor, Daryl Tuffey, Daniel Vettori, BJ Watling, Kane Williamson, Luke Woodcock, Reece Young
