New Zealand Call Up Rookie Jacobs, Seasoned Milne For Zimbabwe T20I Tri-series
Zimbabwe T20I Tri: New Zealand has included uncapped batter Bevon Jacobs and experienced bowler Adam Milne in their 15-strong squad for next month’s T20I Tri-Series with South Africa and hosts, Zimbabwe. The 23-year-old Jacobs is the only uncapped player in an experienced tour party, captained by Mitch Santner and is in line to make his Black Caps debut.
This will be New Zealand's senior men's first white-ball tour of Zimbabwe since 2015 and will see them play the hosts and South Africa in a four-match T20I tri-series at the Harare Sports Club, starting on July 16. The top two teams will progress to the final on July 26.
Jacobs was first called up to the T20 side to face Sri Lanka in December but wasn’t utilised in the three-game series and has recently returned from a stint with the Mumbai Indians at the Indian Premier League (IPL).
