New Zealand XI vs South Africa Warm-Up T20 Match Preview

The New Zealand XI squad to play a warm-up Twenty20 against South Africa on Tuesday. BLACKCAPS Selector Gavin Larsen said he’s been happy with the form of the Twenty20 squad. “The way we performed in the Twenty20 series against Bangladesh was really pleasing and it’s a format we’ve been consistent in over a long period,” said Larsen. “It’s an exciting team. There’s a lot of experience, but you also have the likes of Tom Bruce, Ben Wheeler and Lockie Ferguson who have made bright starts to their international careers. “It will be great to have Luke back in the mix. He’s the number one white-ball wicketkeeper in the country and brings considerable experience to the group.” Martin Guptill will not feature in the match at Eden Park Outer Oval as a precautionary measure, but Adam Milne will make his return to cricket after an extended period on the sideline. “We’ve named a really strong side for the match, which should be a tough contest and allow a few of our players the opportunity to get a first look at the South African team. “There’s a few fresh faces in the squad, with the likes of Glenn Phillips and Mark Chapman coming off superb Super Smash seasons. It’s a great opportunity for them to test themselves against some of the biggest superstars in world cricket.” “South Africa are the top ranked team and have a number of players who can change the game very quickly. It’s going to be a massive challenge.”
