LAHORE – New Zealand Cricket have named Tom Lathan as their skipper for the ODI series against Pakistan.
Latham remained the top pick for captaincy as he performed well in red-ball cricket and even his led squad clinched the ODI series against Sri Lanka.
Kiwsi are slated to faceoff Men in Green in T20I and ODI series in Pakistan, with the T20 series scheduled to start from April 14 while the ODI action will start from April 26 in Rawalpindi and Karachi.
The watered down squad was named as big wigs of Team New Zealand including Tim Southee, Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner, Devon Conway, Finn Allen, Michael Bracewell, and Lockie Ferguson will not be available for national duty.
