In a strong sign that Trent Boult ^(https://lotus365.today/goto/https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/trent-boult-277912) will be picked for the upcoming ODI World Cup, the New Zealand selectors have included him in a squad of 15 for four ODIs in England, their last series before the big-ticket tournament in October. In another boost for New Zealand’s World Cup preparations, fast bowler Kyle Jamieson ^(https://lotus365.today/goto/https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/kyle-jamieson-625960) also returned to the ODI side after recovering from a back injury.

Tom Latham will lead the side in the absence of Kane Williamson, who started batting recently and will join the side in England to train and continue his rehabilitation after his surgery. Mark Chapman and James Neesham will miss the ODIs as they await the births of their respective first child, while Ish Sodhi will return home after the T20Is in England to also miss the ODIs and spend time with his family ahead of a busy season.

“We’re delighted to include Kyle in this squad alongside his earlier selection for the T20 squads to play the UAE and England,” coach Gary Stead said. “He’s been working extremely hard on his rehabilitation following back surgery, and we’re looking forward to seeing him back playing on the international stage.

“It’s also great to welcome Trent back into our ODI unit as he begins his preparation towards the World Cup in India.”
