District Association side to play Bangladesh named
New Zealand Cricket - 30 November 2001

The District Association team to play Bangladesh in a three-day match at Victoria Park, Wanganui starting on Friday, 7 December has been named.

The match has not been allocated first-class status.

The team is:

Peter McGlashan (captain, Hawkes Bay)
Tim Anderson (Nelson)
Simon Andrews (Hamilton)
Peter Fulton (Canterbury Country)
Jaden Hatwell (Hamilton)
Peter Ingram (Manawatu)
Harley James (Canterbury Country)
Taraia Robin (Hawkes Bay)
Grant Robinson (Hamilton)
Neil Rushton (North Otago)
Greg Todd (Wairarapa)
Scott Baldwin (12th man, Wanganui)
Ross Dykes (manager)

District Association team manager, Ross Dykes, says the side has been selected from New Zealand district teams only and does not include any players from the metropolitan areas or any current first-class players.

"The majority of the team is made up of players who have previously played first-class cricket or who are now on the fringe of first-class selection," says Dykes.

"It's a mixture of experience and up and coming talent who realise that it's a rare honour for a district team to be playing an international side.

"I'm sure they'll be very competitive."
