12 Nov
Summary
- Brett Randell receives first international call-up for New Zealand.
- Injuries prompt the inclusion of Randell and recalled Josh Clarkson.
- Coach Rob Walter praises Randell's consistent domestic performance.
Brett Randell, a 31-year-old pacer, has received his maiden international call-up for New Zealand's fourth and fifth ODIs against India. This inclusion comes after Randell's recent County Championship season with Derbyshire and is anticipated to mark his debut. The national side has also recalled Josh Clarkson for the final ODI, his last appearance for New Zealand being in April of this year.
These changes in the squad are a direct response to a series of injuries, particularly within the fast-bowling department. New Zealand's head coach, Rob Walter, highlighted the significance of a first international call-up and commended Randell for his consistent performances in domestic cricket. Walter expressed the team's good fortune in being able to bring in both Randell and Clarkson, looking forward to finishing the series strongly.
