New Zealand plays host to a touring team from the MCC this month after a three-match series in Papua New Guinea.
The side, captained by Sussex player Luke Marshall, also includes PNG-born England Test wicketkeeper Geraint Jones and New Zealanders Ronnie Kotkamp and Scott McHardy.
They play five tour matches; two 50-over games against a Canterbury Cricket Association XI at Rangiora (7 & 8 March), two 50-over games against Otago Country CA XI at Queenstown Events Centre (11 & 13 March), and a two-day game against an Auckland CA XI at Eden Park Outer Oval (15-16 March).
