- BJ Watling:
After an indifferent ODI series against India, wicket-keeper Luke Ronchi faced the axe. Watling, who replaced the former midway into the series, did reasonably well and was named as the only specialist keeper for the ODI series against Australia. If the Kiwis opt to play Colin De Grandhomme as an extra all rounder, Watling’s responsibility with the bat will increase, as he will be slated in to bat at five.
