Walmsley back for England game

Otago's most successful bowler this season former international Kerry Walmsley has regained his fitness and will play against England in the three-day match starting at the Queenstown Events Centre on Saturday.

Walmsley has missed the last two State Championship games because of a side strain and he replaces the man who took his place Neil Rushton.

Brendon McCullum also returns to the team in place of Andrew Hore who is not available.

And Duncan Drew has been named as wicket-keeper for the match with Martyn Croy, fresh from a record equalling seven catches against Auckland, being rested due to a niggling ankle injury.

There are no other changes to the side.

The Otago team for the match against England is: Craig Cumming (captain), Simon Beare, Duncan Drew, Chris Gaffaney, Robbie Lawson, Brendon McCullum, James McMillan, Nathan Morland, Craig Pryor, David Sewell, Rob Smith, Kerry Walsmley.
