Matt Henry returns to NZ ODI setup
Dubai, Aug 25: In preparation for the three-match ODI series against Australia beginning on September 6, Matt Henry has made a comeback to the New Zealand ODI team. Henry’s inclusion is the only change to the 15-man squad who claimed New Zealand’s first one-day series win in the West Indies earlier this week, with spinner Ish Sodhi making way. Ben Sears, called into the Caribbean tour as an injury replacement for Henry, has been retained for the upcoming three-game series, as has Otago Volts batsman Glenn Phillips – meaning no room for batsmen Henry Nicholls and Will Young. The remainder of the side has a familiar feel to it. (ANI)
