Vettori to play Twenty20 for Queensland | New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori will join Queensland as a guest player in the Twenty20 Big Bash tournament beginning next week. Left-arm spinner Vettori has agreed to a two-match stint with the Bulls
as their overseas player and will make his Queensland debut in the January 13
clash with NSW at ANZ Stadium. He is also available for the preliminary final
should Queensland finish second or third and could play in the 12.5 million dollar
Champions League tournament in India should the Bulls qualify by finishing in
the top two of the Big Bash. "We all know his bowling is world class, but every
bit of feedback we have received about him highlights that he is a fine leader
of men who has a fantastic cricket brain and a calm and professional on-field
presence," Queensland coach Trevor Barsby said. "It might only be a short stint
but we are confident there will be long-term benefits from him being a part of
our squad during the Big Bash." "It's also a nice boost for Chris Simpson, who
is developing into a fine captain. "I'm sure he will enjoy the experience of having
Dan around and soak up some of his knowledge." The 30-year-old Black Caps skipper,
who was the youngest player to play Test cricket for NZ when he made his debut
as an 18-year-old, recently became just the eighth player in history to take 300
Test wickets and score 3000 Test runs. Queensland squad: Chris Simpson (captain),
Glen Batticciotto, Lee Carseldine, Ben Cutting, Ryan Harris, Chris Hartley, James
Hopes, Ben Laughlin, Alister McDermott, Craig Philipson, Nathan Reardon, Nathan
Rimmington, Andrew Symonds (one to be omitted, 12th man to be named). |
