Arnel added to BLACKCAPS Test squad

New Zealand Cricked today announced that seamer Brent Arnel has been added to the BLACKCAPS Test squad for the current series against Australia.

Arnel will bring the squad numbers up to the full complement of 14 players and will join the team in Brisbane on Monday 5 December before travelling with the side to Hobart for the second Test.

BLACKCAPS coach John Wright said: “We feel it’s important to add a bit of bowling depth.

“Brent has been bowling well in the Plunket Shield for Northern and offers us another seam option. The conditions in Hobart are likely to be slower so he comes into the frame.”
