Australia have announced a 14-man squad for the AUS vs NZ Test series. The squad features just one new addition – the return of Michael Nesser to the red-ball format of the game. The Kiwis will take on their neighbours in a two-match Test series from February 28 onwards.

“Michael Neser returns to the squad which is mostly unchanged from recent squads,” chief selector George Bailey said.
“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.
“As we know every Test match provides vital opportunities to obtain valuable WTC points and we expect this tour will be a tough challenge against a very strong side who have been so consistent at home for a long period of time.”
