Mills, How to join team

Wellington: Medium-fast bowler Kyle Mills and opening batsman Jamie How will join the injury-hit New Zealand cricket team in South Africa.

New Zealand Cricket said that Mills will replace Shane Bond, who suffered an abdominal strain during New Zealand’s 358-run loss to South Africa in the first Test. Bond will return to New Zealand.

Standby

How will join the Kiwi squad as standby to cover other players who have minor injuries.

Both Mills and How were to join the New Zealand team for next month’s limited-overs series in South Africa, but their departure has been brought forward.

The second Test of the two-match series begins at Centurion on Friday. — AP
