Kiwis call up extra spinner
HAMILTON, Dec 21: New Zealand have brought in a second spinner for the second Test against Pakistan starting in Wellington on Boxing Day.
In the only change from the squad playing in the first Test here, New Zealand coach and selector John Bracewell added Canterbury off-spinner Paul Wiseman at the expense of batsman Richard Jones.
Jones was named 12th man for the first Test after being included as cover for captain Stephen Fleming who was under an injury cloud before the game started.
Bracewell said in a statement that playing a second spinner at Wellington’s Basin Reserve was a definite possibility.
