New Zealand call up 6'8" tall pacer Jamieson for second ODI

Auckland: Towering fast bowler Kyle Jamieson will make his international debut for New Zealand against India in the second one-day match in Auckland on Saturday.

The 2.03m (6’8") tall Jamieson was called into the national squad for the final two Tests against Australia but did not play and was not in the side for the opening one-day match against India in Hamilton on Wednesday.

Bowling coach Shane Jurgensen, who is temporarily in charge of the team with Gary Stead taking a week off, told reporters on Friday that Scott Kuggeleijn would not be considered due to flu-like symptoms.

Jamieson played three one-day matches for New Zealand ‘A’ against India ‘A’ in Christchurch last month where had figures of 0-60, 2-69 and 4-49. Agencies
