Wellington [New Zealand], November 30 (ANI): Glenn Phillips and top-order batting partner Devon Conway will feature for New Zealand in the two upcoming 'unofficial Tests' against the West Indies A, and Pakistan, respectively.
Pacer Lockie Ferguson and all-rounder Jimmy Neesham have also been named in New Zealand A squad for 'unofficial Test' against Pakistan slated to begin in Queenstown from December 10. T20 regulars Ish Sodhi and Tim Seifert too are included for both matches.
Selector Gavin Larsen made it clear this was an opportunity for players to show their Test credentials.
