Ferguson named in Chappell-Hadlee ODI Squad

Hamilton: Auckland Aces fast bowler Lockie Ferguson is in line to make his Blackcaps debut, after being named in the squad of 14 to face Australia in the Chappell-Hadlee series next month.

The 25-year-old Ferguson is joined in the squad by Todd Astle and Colin de Grandhomme, both of whom have featured in the ANZ Test series against Pakistan. Colin Munro also makes his return after coming back from injury. 

Not considered due to injury -- Ross Taylor, Adam Milne, Mitchell McClenaghan, George Worker, Corey Anderson

The Kiwis Selector Gavin Larsen said -"Lockie has been impressive on the domestic scene and bowls at a pace which gives our bowling attack a different option."

Todd and Colin de Grandhomme have both been in our thinking for ODIs and their ability with both bat and ball gives the squad an important balance.

Larsen said the series was one that held a special place in fans hearts.

The team depart for Australia on Wednesday, with the first match on Sunday 4 December.
