CWI have named a 15 for the three-match ODI series in New Zealand (Nov 16 - 22). John Campbell and Johann Layne come in; Matthew Forde returns after injury. Brandon King misses out after a dip in form. The No.2-ranked hosts make this a big chance for ranking points toward 2027 World Cup qualification.


Quick hits



  • Campbell rewarded for recent Test form and last year’s CG United Super50

  • Pace group headed by Seales and Shepherd, with support from Forde and Springer; Alzarri Joseph, Shamar Joseph, Ramon Simmonds, Jediah Blades are out injured

The best selections based on availability and form, I think Rutherford could have been rested, he is going through a lack of production period.

What’s the excuse for King’s exclusion?
