India beckons for Jamie How as he heads into today's Plunket Shield cricket match against Canterbury in Napier.

The Central Districts skipper is in the running for the Black Caps one day squad, after a superb winter with New Zealand A.

How says he's hopeful of a call-up but he's not letting it distract him from today's match.

He says his focus is on doing well for the Stags and hopefully getting a big score.

Also today, Auckland hosts Otago at Colin Maiden Park and Wellington takes on Northern Districts at the Basin Reserve.
