NZTailender Announces Squad
The 15 man squad to tour the world playing First Class, List A and Twenty20 matches against anyone who is willing to take them on was announced today.
An extra 4 players were added to the original signature 11 for flexibility and injury cover.
Simon Katich will lead the squad, with Paul Collingwood as his deputy.
"We're hoping to get some good challenges. We're inviting anyone who wants to take us on to do so, as we feel we can match ourselves to the best on offer" said a somewhat delusional NZTailender earlier today.
Jack McNamara was a late withdrawel after he couldn't be found to confirm whether or not he will be playing, and will be replaced by Paul Harris.
