Vincent to join Black Caps in Pakistan

Lou Vincent has recovered well from the lung injury he sustained during
the third Test of the National Bank Series against England in Auckland,
and will fly out on Thursday (April 18) to join the TelstraClear Black
Caps in Pakistan.
The injury to wicket-keeper Chris Nevin, who strained his hamstring while
practising prior to last night's one-day match against Pakistan, has meant
Robbie Hart will be joining the squad earlier than expected.
Hart was originally scheduled to join the squad on April 23 for the Test
series in Pakistan, but will now fly out with Vincent to join the squad
before the one-dayers.
"It was always our stated intention to have Lou join the squad as
soon as he was fit. Chris Nevin's injury has meant Robbie Hart, who was
to join the squad for Test series, will now get to Pakistan earlier and
become a wicket-keeping option for the one-dayers," said Chairman
of Selectors Sir Richard Hadlee.
At this stage no decision had been made on when Chris Nevin or Mathew
Sinclair, who has been covering for Vincent, will be returning to New
Zealand.
