Bean Sears confirmed for Test debut, final call between Scott Kuggeleijn and Mitchell Santner
Tim Southee, who will play his 100th Test in Christchurch, did not confirm New Zealand’s final XI with the last call to be made between pace bowler Scott Kuggeleijn and left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner. Kuggeleijn, playing his second Test, was underwhelming in Wellington where he claimed two wickets and made scores of 0 and 26.
