O'Brien took two wickets in two Tests against Australia in 2005

New Zealand paceman Kyle Mills will miss next month's two-Test tour of South Africa because of a calf strain.

The 28-year-old has been replaced in the Kiwi squad by Iain O'Brien after picking up the injury during New Zealand A's recent tour of Australia.

The first Test starts in Johannesburg on 8 November, with the Test series followed by three one-day matches.

Mills had just returned to action after overcoming a serious knee injury which had sidelined him since January.

"The selectors are not satisfied that Kyle will be fit enough to leave with the Black Caps Test team next week and decided to remove him from the that section of the tour," said team manager Lindsay Crocker.

"It is hoped that when Kyle recovers from his injury and has some game time under his belt he will be considered for the one-day section of the tour."

O'Brien proved expensive with the ball when he played his only two Tests for New Zealand against Australia in March 2005😊

go on s.a!!
they shld defo win this
well i hope they so hehe

Thanks for creating this. Next time, just remember to PM so I know not to open another one.

Hi. I am going to close this topic for the moment and open it when the series starts. This will save a lot of confusion because South Africa is already in the middle of a series.

Pollock recalled by South Africa



Pitch conditions in Johannesburg should offer more help to Pollock

South Africa's leading wicket-taker Shaun Pollock has been recalled for the first Test against New Zealand in Johannesburg next Thursday.

The 34-year-old was dropped for the first time in his 107-Test career for the recent series win in Pakistan.

Captain Graeme Smith said it was a decision to give younger bowlers exposure to difficult conditions.

But Pollock, who has taken 416 Test scalps, has been added for a 12-man squad for the Wanderers clash.


South Africa squad: Herschelle Gibbs, Graeme Smith, Hashim Amla, Jacques Kallis, Ashwell Prince, AB de Villiers, Mark Boucher, Andre Nel, Paul Harris, Dale Steyn, Makhaya Ntini, Shaun Pollock.
