Changes to BLACKCAPS Twenty20 squad

New Zealand Cricket has advised two changes to the BLACKCAPS squad for the Twenty20 International against Australia on Sunday [15 February] at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Kyle Mills injured his right achilles tendon during tonight's fifth ODI at the Gabba in Brisbane and will not play in the Twenty20 International. He returns to New Zealand tomorrow (Saturday). Brendon Diamanti will now remain with the squad as cover.

Ross Taylor experienced some tightness of the hamstring during the Brisbane game. New Zealand team management is hopeful he will be able to play in Sunday's Twenty20 International, but has retained Peter Fulton to remain with the squad as cover.
