CWI has named a 15 for the three-match ODI series in New Zealand (November 16-22). Enter John Campbell and Johann Layne; Matthew Forde returns after injury. Brandon King drops out after a dip in form. The number 2 of the host country makes this a great chance of ranking points for the 2027 World Cup qualification.
Quick hits
- Campbell rewarded for recent test form and last year’s CG United Super50
- Pace group led by Seales and Shepherd, with support from Forde and Springer; Alzarri Joseph, Shamar Joseph, Ramon Simmonds and Jediah Blades are injured
