New Zealand all-rounder Kyle Jamieson has been named to the 14-man Test squad that will face England in a two-match series. Jamieson’s most recent international appearance came in the Nottingham Test against England, where he was forced off the field due to a back injury. Jamieson recently played T20 and List A cricket for Auckland after being out for more than seven months.
“Kyle is a very determined character with a strong desire to play international cricket for New Zealand. Since he was forced from the field in Nottingham he’s been very clear that he wants to get his body right to return. He’s reported good progress since his return to professional cricket with Auckland and he will get the opportunity to play some long form cricket as part of the New Zealand XI Squad to face England in their warm-up match next week at Seddon Park,” said coach Stead.
The first Test will be a pink-ball day-night match at Tauranga’s Bay Oval from February 16 to 20. The second Test will be held at Wellington’s Basin Reserve from February 24-28.
