Two very different test and one-day teams to tour Zimbabwe in August were announced by New Zealand cricket today.
A major point of interest is the return to top-class cricket of fast bowler Shane Bond, after a long period out with injury.
Experienced cricketer Craig McMillan makes the team forthe one-dayers, but is apparently not included in NZC's test match plans.
Wellington offspinner Jeetan Patel is the surprise 'bolter' in the one-day squad.
Craig Cumming, James Franklin, James Marshall, Chris Martin and Paul Wiseman are those who get the nod for only the longer version of the game.
* Test squad:
Stephen Fleming (captain) Daniel Vettori (vice-captain) Nathan Astle, Shane Bond, Craig Cumming, James Franklin, Hamish Marshall, James Marshall, Chris Martin, Brendon McCullum, Kyle Mills, Jacob Oram, Scott Styris, Lou Vincent, Paul Wiseman.
* One-day squad:
Stephen Fleming (captain), Daniel Vettori (vice-captain), Andre Adams, Nathan Astle, Shane Bond, Chris Cairns, Hamish Marshall, Brendon McCullum, Craig McMillan, Jacob Oram, Kyle Mills, Jeetan Patel, Scott Styris, Lou Vincent.
