Cairns, Harris named in Kiwi ODI squad
The two ODI specialists have been included in the 14-man squad for the Chappell-Hadlee series against world champions Australia.
Chris Cairns and Chris Harris will join the New Zealand touring party for their limited-overs series with Australia after the selectors named a 14-man squad on Wednesday.
The two one-day specialists have been included for the three-match Chappell-Hadlee series starting in December.
New Zealand coach John Bracewell said there were no surprises in the squad.
"This is a squad that has performed pretty well during the last 12 months. They have hardly lost a one-day match and there is a degree of confidence," he said.
"Cairns and Harris always add value to the squad on and off the field and they have been keeping cricket-fit by playing in the New Zealand Academy warm-up matches following their involvement in the one-day series against Bangladesh."
The Kiwis, thrashed by Australia in the first Test in Brisbane, tackle the world champions in the second and final Test in Adelaide starting on Friday before the one-day tournament begins on December 5.
New Zealand squad: Stephen Fleming (captain), Nathan Astle, Mathew Sinclair, Hamish Marshall, Craig McMillan, Scott Styris, Chris Cairns, Chris Harris, Jacob Oram, Brendon McCullum, Daniel Vettori, Andre Adams, Kyle Mills, Ian Butler.
