New Zealand name squad for U19 World Cup 

WELLINGTON: New Zealand have announced their 15-member squad for the U19 World Cup slated to be held in South Africa from January 17 to February 9 next year. Left-arm spin-bowling all-rounder Jesse Tashkoff will lead the team coached by Paul Wiseman.

"These boys should be proud of their selection in the U19 side but they will know the hard work is ahead of them," Wiseman said in an official statement. "We saw how strong the Bangladesh U19 side were that toured here recently, and we're expecting a highly competitive World Cup. We're very happy with the squad we've selected and believe the group will give us the best chance of success - but we're under no illusions how tough it's going to be. IANS
