WELLINGTON, Jan 19: All-rounder Jacob Oram will join the New Zealand cricket team in Australia this weekend, bolstering the side ahead of their next tri-series match against Australia on Tuesday.

Oram has recovered from a hamstring strain and has already been confirmed as a starter in the match at Adelaide in which New Zealand will attempt to post their first win of the series.

Fast bowler Kyle Mills, who has been sidelined with a knee injury, may also join the team in time for Tuesday's match but all-rounder Scott Styris’ return has been delayed after he suffered a calf muscle strain this week.

“I'm really looking forward to getting over there and joining up with the guys again, especially with the World Cup just around the corner,” Oram said.—AP
