Ben Sears Joins NZ Squad as Cover for Jamieson in NZ vs Ban ODIs

Ben Sears, an uncapped fast bowler, has been included in New Zealand’s ODI squad for the series against Bangladesh due to Kyle Jamieson’s stiff left hamstring. Jamieson returned from Bangladesh after the Test series and will be cautious with his return, according to New Zealand coach Gary Stead. Sears, who has not made his ODI debut yet, has played six T20Is and was part of the ODI squad for the Chappell-Hadlee Series against Australia last year. The first ODI will be on December 17 in Dunedin. The second ODI is in Nelson on December 20 and the third in Napier on December 23. The complete ODI squad for New Zealand is also listed.
