Chappell-Hadlee Series, 2008/09

New Zealand ODI Squad For Australia Tour

Wellington: New Zealand will bring two uncapped players in Trent Boult and Brendon Diamanti to Australia for next month's five-match Chappell-Hadlee Series. Boult, a left-arm fast bowler, is only 19 and is part of the 14-man squad that will attempt to forget the 2-0 defeat in the Test campaign late last year.

Uncapped all-rounder Brendon Diamanti and 18-year-old bowler Trent Boult were included after impressive domestic performances. Batsman Peter Fulton and seam bowler Iain O'Brien were recalled.

The Diamanti comes in for Jacob Oram, who is again struggling with injury after picking up a heel complaint during the 2-1 series win over West Indies earlier in the month.

The tour opens with a warm-up match against the Prime Minister's XI in Canberra on January 29 before the first ODI in Perth on February 1. The tour includes five One-day matches and a Twenty20 game against Australia.

Squad: Daniel Vettori (c), Brendon McCullum (wk), Trent Boult, Martin Guptill, Neil Broom, Ross Taylor, Brendon Diamanti, Jesse Ryder, Grant Elliott, Peter Fulton, Kyle Mills, Iain O'Brien, Jeetan Patel, Tim Southee.
