Latest August tour there's ever been. Clashing with Ford Trophy and India LOIs, but good preparation for the tests. Looking like a great opportunity for Henry Nicholls to score some more runs before failing miserably in Australia.
Plunket Shield schedule also released. Auckland's last two home FC games are at Colin Maiden.

NZ A vs South Australia 50 over match currently in progress -
Heaphy perhaps added to squad after Foxcroft injury? Assume Jacobs and Hay rested today.
Black Caps social media says "All 12 players will feature in the match with Jayden Lennox the non-batter" so I assume game not counted in List A player stats.

These 50 over games appear to be 12-a-side, judging by the scorecard.
What a load of crap (for us), maybe 12-a-side make sense for the opponents. But not for us who have already been there a fortnight playing 'miscellaneous' classed cricket.
Although. On the bright side. It makes future stats filtering by NZ 'A' level easier for the nerds.

Would think it would be much more likely. As opposed to the Top End T20 squad, as O'Connor has played zero T20 matches yet for Otago. And the selectors seem to take that sort of thing seriously.

Kuggeleijn was selected for Hampshire unannounced, but Hampshire quickly withdrew that after backlash.
Meanwhile Muthu is still drip-feeding NZ player interviews:

Wow.Hadn't heard that about Hampshire, but yeah, here's their statement.
Hampshire taking a stand 10 years on when we wouldn't 10 weeks later (I realise that is a bit of an exaggeration).

Good on cricinfo for adding in the necessary context to counter the "but he was found not guilty!" cries.

"Well you know what they say, I can't take no for an answer."
Ha yeah, good point.

There’s an Instagram reel here of Heaphy and Fisher at the Chennai SK Academy. Heaphy mentions as they go into the gym that it is “where Fish spends all his time.” You can see how much more robust Fisher is these days.
