The Yahoo!Xtra Northern Knights welcome back two BLACKCAPS and farewell another for their round five clash in the men's domestic one-day competition.
 
Kane Williamson, named yesterday in New Zealand's World Cup squad, and Brent Arnel come back into the squad to play the Canterbury Wizards on Sunday at Cobham Oval, Whangarei, while Scott Styris joins the BLACKCAPS for the ODI series against Pakistan.
Styris is fresh from blitzing an unbeaten century against the Volts in Invercargill, but rain curtailed his innings and the match, meaning both teams shared the points for a washout. With Auckland meanwhile winning their match against the Stags further north, that's allowed the Aces to overtake the second-placed Knights on the points table.

An injury to the Knights' in-form opener Daniel Flynn has ruled him out for at least the next round, but his opening partner, BJ Watling, will return after a back strain saw him sit out the Invercargill match. Michael Parlane has been left out of the team.
 
The team for Whangarei is:
 
James Marshall (Captain)
Graeme Aldridge
Brent Arnel
Trent Boult
Anton Devcich
Jason Donnelly
Peter McGlashan (w)
Bradley Scott
BJ Watling
Kane Williamson
Brad Wilson
Joseph Yovich
