Experienced pacer Trent Boult and bowling all-rounder Kyle Jamieson have made a return to the New Zealand squad for the white-ball series against England starting from September 8 onwards. Experienced left-armer Trent Boult and fellow pacer Kyle Jamieson return to New Zealand’s squad ahead of the World Cup, with the Black Caps to take on the 2019 champions in a five-match series that will form a vital warm-up ahead of this year’s tournament.
Notably, Boult had given up on his central contract last year to focus on franchise cricket and spend time with his family. All-rounder Michael Bracewell remains side lined as he recovers from his Achilles injury, while Mark Chapman and Jimmy Neesham stay in New Zealand as they await the births of their first children.
Tom Latham will continue in his role as ODI captain in the absence of mainstay Kane Williamson, with the experienced right-hander to join up with his teammates in England to continue his rehabilitation from the knee injury he picked up earlier this year.
