New Zealand Cricket today announced that Auckland Aces bowler will join the BLACKCAPS at the ICC Cricket World Cup as bowling cover.
Selector Mark Greatbatch said: “With Kyle Mills suffering from a quad strain we felt it was important to cover our bases.
“The medical team are working hard to get Kyle fit and we are hopeful he will still play a big part in the World Cup so bringing in Daryl is a precaution.
“Getting Daryl over to India early gives him the best chance of adjusting to the different time zone and conditions should he become part of the official squad.”
Tuffey will join the team in Mumbai on Friday 18 March.
