Speaking about the return of Bond, selector and BLACKCAPS coach Mark Greatbatch, said, “We are very happy with Shane’s progress. He’s had five or six games now with Canterbury and club cricket and he’s ready to go.
“He’s very, very excited about playing for New Zealand again in the one-dayers and twenty20’s again against Australia and has always saved his best for them so is looking forward to getting stuck in and helping us.
He offers a lot. He’s a professional, he’s experience, he bowls quick and he’s a real asset to Daniel as far as the bowling is concerned so we’re excited to have him back.
Greatbatch also commented on the return of Styris, “Scott’s had really good domestic form. We’ve asked him to go away and try and extend his game and we fell that he’s done that so he gets an opportunity in the first two one-dayer’s as part of the 13 man squad to play Australia.
