Jimmy Neesham recalled into Black Caps squad for India Tests

September 6, 2016

The New Zealand selector praised the effort that the all-rounder has put in to regain international selection.

Otago all-rounder Jimmy Neesham has been recalled into the Black Caps side to tour India later this month.

Neesham, who hasn't played for the Black Caps since last year's tour of Australia, was the only new face in the 15 man squad named to play in the three Test series.

Auckland opening batsman Jeet Raval and Canterbury fast bowler Matt Henry have been axed from the squad, with neither having featured during the recent Test tours of Zimbabwe and South Africa.

The Black Caps will play the first Test match against India on September 22 in Kanpur, before the series moves on to Kolkata and finishes in Indore.
