Tuffey gets World Cup lifeline
WELLINGTON, Jan 14: Fast bowler Daryl Tuffey moved closer to an international recall on Sunday when he was named in New Zealand's 30-man preliminary squad for the World Cup.
Tuffey, who was formerly New Zealand's pace bowling spearhead, has been out of international cricket for more than two years because of injuries.
Three uncapped players – wicket-keeper Peter McGlashan, spinner Nathan McCullum and all-rounder Mark Orchard – are included in the squad. McCullum is the brother of current New Zealand wicket-keeper Brendon McCullum.
squad: Andre Adams, Nathan Astle, Shane Bond, Stephen Fleming, James Franklin, Peter Fulton, Mark Gillespie, Chris Harris, Paul Hitchcock, Gareth Hopkins, Jamie How, James Marshall, Hamish Marshall, Chris Martin, Michael Mason, Kyle Mills, Brendon McCullum, Nathan McCullum, Peter McGlashan, Craig McMillan, Iain OBrien, Jacob Oram, Mark Orchard, Jeetan Patel, Mathew Sinclair, Scott Styris, Ross Taylor, Daryl Tuffey, Daniel Vettori, Lou Vincent.—AP
