Lockie Ferguson to lead in Bangladesh ODI Series, Foxcroft set for potential debut

Lockie Ferguson, ODI series: Lockie Ferguson is set to captain the BLACKCAPS for the first time in an international fixture during the upcoming three match ODI Series against Bangladesh in Dhaka.

Lockie Ferguson lead the side in absence of regular ODI captain :-

Ferguson, who recently led the team in tour matches in England, will captain the side in the absence of regular ODI captain Kane Williamson as he continues to recover from knee surgery, and regular deputy Tom Latham – who will miss the series to have time at home before the ICC Cricket World Cup and Test tour to Bangladesh.

Dean Foxcroft has earned his maiden selection :-

In another potential first, Dean Foxcroft has earned his maiden selection in a BLACKCAPS ODI Squad fresh from his international T20 debut last month against the United Arab Emirates.

Along with Latham, Devon Conway, Matt Henry, Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner and Tim Southee also left out of the squad, allowing them a short break to focus on, and prepare for, the World Cup tournament, for which they will assemble only 12 days after the start of the Bangladesh series.

Chapman and Neesham weren’t considered for selection :-

Mark Chapman and Jimmy Neesham both weren’t considered for selection because the tour coincides with the arrival of or shortly after the birth of their first children, respectively.

The need to manage player workloads sees the squad feature an experienced core including five players from the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup Squad and a group of players newer to One Day International cricket.

Stead pointed to Lockie Ferguson’s chance to lead the side as an example of the opportunity presented by the series.

Stead said Dean Foxcroft had earned his call up on the back of strong domestic form for the Otago Volts.
