Lauderhill in Florida will host New Zealand and West Indies for two Twenty20 matches on June 30 and July 1, in the run-up to New Zealand's tour of the Caribbean. This will be only the second time two Test teams face-off in Florida, after the Twenty20s between Sri Lanka and New Zealand in May 2010. New Zealand Cricket chief executive David White said the games in Lauderhill would boost the sport's profile in the USA. "Playing matches in Florida is great for the profile of cricket, as Cricket Holdings America works towards forming a professional Twenty20 league," he said. "I think the West Indies Cricket Board should be commended for the hard work that has gone into scheduling the matches." After the Twenty20s, New Zealand will play five one-dayers and three Tests in the West Indies, between July 5 and August 6. Jamaica and St Kitts will host the ODIs, while the Tests are scheduled for Antigua and, again, Jamaica. New Zealand will play one three-day tour game ahead of the Tests. Schedule: June 30, 1st Twenty20, Florida July 1, 2nd Twenty20, Florida July 5, 1st ODI, Jamaica July 7, 2nd ODI, Jamaica July 11, 3rd ODI, St Kitts July 14, 4th ODI, St Kitts July 16, 5th ODI, St Kitts July 20-22, tour match, Antigua July 25-29, 1st Test, Antigua August 2-6, 2nd Test, Jamaica

Wright to stand down as NZ coach http://www.espncricinfo.com/newzealand/content/current/story/563298.html

"I am grateful to New Zealand Cricket for the opportunity to coach the national team," Wright said. "I had always wanted to coach New Zealand cricketers for New Zealanders and it has been a tremendous privilege for me. I appreciate the offer to extend my contract but after much consideration I feel it's the right time to move on and look at other opportunities."

Wagner named in New Zealand Test squad The South Africa-born fast bowler Neil Wagner has been named in New Zealand's Test squad for the tour of the West Indies, while Brendon McCullum has been rested from the one-day and Twenty20 squads More... Wagner named in New Zealand Test squad Brydon Coverdale May 3, 2012 The South Africa-born fast bowler Neil Wagner has been named in New Zealand's Test squad for the tour of the West Indies, while Brendon McCullum has been rested from the one-day and Twenty20 squads. New Zealand have named their touring groups for the trip, which begins with a pair of Twenty20s in Florida starting on June 30 and finishes with two Tests in Antigua and Jamaica in late July and early August. Wagner and the legspinner Tarun Nethula are the two uncapped members of the 15-man Test squad, which featured no major surprises and included all 11 men who played New Zealand's most recent Test. The selectors chose two wicketkeepers, Kruger van Wyk and BJ Watling, who will also serve as the backup batsmen for the two Tests. The inclusion of Wagner, 26, will create some competition for places in the attack after he comfortably topped the Plunket Shield wickets tally with 46 victims at 26.32. Wagner was born in Pretoria and started his first-class career in South Africa before moving to New Zealand and making his Otago debut in 2008-09. He was also the leading Plunket Shield wicket-taker in 2010-11, and it was no surprise that he was rushed in to the squad immediately after the ICC confirmed last month that Wagner had qualified to play for New Zealand. New Zealand squads Test squad: Daniel Flynn, Martin Guptill, Brendon McCullum, Ross Taylor (capt), Kane Williamson, Dean Brownlie, BJ Watling (wk), Kruger van Wyk (wk), Daniel Vettori, Tarun Nethula, Doug Bracewell, Trent Boult, Neil Wagner, Mark Gillespie, Chris Martin. One-day squad: Rob Nicol, Martin Guptill, Daniel Flynn, Kane Williamson, Ross Taylor (capt), Dean Brownlie, BJ Watling (wk), Tom Latham, Jacob Oram, Nathan McCullum, Andrew Ellis, Kyle Mills, Doug Bracewell, Tim Southee, Tarun Nethula. Twenty20 squad: Rob Nicol, Martin Guptill, Kane Williamson, Ross Taylor (capt), Daniel Flynn, Dean Brownlie, BJ Watling (wk), Tom Latham, Jacob Oram, Nathan McCullum, Andrew Ellis, Kyle Mills, Doug Bracewell, Tim Southee, Ronnie Hira. Less expected was the decision to rest McCullum for the ODIs and Twenty20s, with BJ Watling to take the gloves in both formats having recovered from a hip injury. The national selection manager Kim Littlejohn said with such a busy period coming up for New Zealand it was important to manage player workloads. "We asked Brendon McCullum to take a break during the short-form component of the tour," Littlejohn said. "The team is about to embark on a heavy programme of international cricket and we will need to sensibly manage the workload of our players. "This also allows other very talented cricketers to get an opportunity and for us to continue to build depth across our squads. Going forward we are looking to identify opportunities for other players, such as Doug Bracewell, Martin Guptill and Kane Williamson, to take a bit of time out and freshen up. "James Franklin will also miss the tour. We see James as a key part of our Twenty20 squad going forward and have worked with him to organise a stint playing for Essex in the county Twenty20 competition. With the ICC World Tweny20 coming up we felt the best preparation for James would be to play a large number of Twenty20 matches in that competition rather than two matches in this tour." Jacob Oram has returned to the limited-overs squads after recovering from a calf injury and the batsman Tom Latham has been given an opportunity in both the ODI and Twenty20 outfits. The tour consists of two Twenty20s, five ODIs and two Tests.

Uncapped Samuel Badree picked for T20s in USA

is well-balanced and has been selected with the Twenty20 World Cup in mind," West Indies' chief selector Clyde Butts said. "Looking at the team, we expect this side to do very well against New Zealand, as our preparation for the World Cup continues. "Badree has been a consistent performer in regional tournaments over a period of time and the selectors felt it was the right time to introduce him to the team." West Indies were due to leave for the United States from the UK on Monday. The two T20s in Florida are followed by five ODIs and two Tests in the Caribbean. West Indies squad: Darren Sammy (capt), Samuel Badree, Dwayne Bravo, Johnson Charles, Fidel Edwards, Chris Gayle, Sunil Narine, Kieron Pollard, Denesh Ramdin, Ravi Rampaul, Marlon Samuels, Lendl Simmons, Dwayne Smith.
