Cricket-Boult, Nicholls in New Zealand squad for England tests but doubts for first game
(Reuters) - New Zealand named a 15-man crew for the three-test series against England yet said on Monday that Henry Nicholls and Trent Boult are questions for the principal match at Lord's.
Nicholls is as yet recuperating from a right calf injury, with New Zealand naming Michael Bracewell as the sixteenth man as cover for the top request batsman.
Quick bowler Boult, in the mean time, is supposed to show up in London just on Monday in the wake of playing for the Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) last in Ahmedabad a day sooner.
Jacob Duffy, Blair Tickner, Rachin Ravindra and Hamish Rutherford were let out of the underlying 20 player crew.
Captain Williamson, who left the IPL right on time to get back for the introduction of his subsequent youngster, has gotten together with the crew.
New Zealand are ruling World Test champions. The principal test starts on Thursday against an England side that is presently being trained by previous New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum.
