Meanwhile, Kyle Jamieson is continuing his red-ball-return-to-play-plan working closely with the backroom staff of New Zealand, having recently featured in the Plunket Shield game for Canterbury against Central Stags. Glenn Phillips, who recovered from a groin strain, played the first two fixtures of the competition for Otago scoring 130 runs and taking nine wickets. Phillips is part of the 14-man squad for the second Test.
