Cricket Australia recalls Neser for NZ Test series

Agency :
Seamer Michael Neser was recalled on Friday for Australia’s upcoming two-Test series against New Zealand (NZ) in a 14-man squad that otherwise had no surprises.

The 33-year-old got the nod ahead of young quick Lance Morris, who suffered a side strain during last week’s one-day clash against West Indies in Canberra.

But his chances of adding to the two Tests he has played are slim, with Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood once again the frontline fast bowlers.

“It’s great to see Michael Neser get another opportunity in the squad following his ever-consistent performances over a long period of time and the conditions we expect,” said chief selector George Bailey.
