Central Districts' all-rounder Glen Sulzberger impressed at the right time during New Zealand A's tour of India and has won a trip to Pakistan as a result.

Off-spinner Sulzberger and Wellington wicket-keeper Chris Nevin were today named as the final two players to be included in the New Zealand team for the three-match One-Day International series with Pakistan starting on October 19.

They replace Grant Bradburn and Adam Parore from the side which played in Sri Lanka last month.

New Zealand selection chairman Sir Richard Hadlee said today: "Chris Nevin offers more versatility to the batting lineup.

"He is capable of opening with Nathan Astle and he may also be trialled lower down the order where we would expect him to maintain a high strike rate and add impetus to the run-scoring."

Nevin has played 13 ODIs and has scored 291 runs at an average of 24.25 with his best score 74 against Australia two summers ago.

Last summer he set a record for wicket-keeping dismissals in New Zealand domestic cricket with 47.

Hadlee had earlier hinted at Parore's exclusion from the one-day programme on the Pakistan tour saying New Zealand wanted to ensure Parore was not over-used in the latter part of his career.

"While Adam Parore's recent Test form has been good, his 'keeping in the one-dayers has not been as sharp as it should be and he has been too inconsistent with the bat," Hadlee said.

Hadlee has not ruled out the longer term development of one of the side's best close-to-the-wicket fieldsmen, Lou Vincent, as a wicket-keeper in ODIs.

Vincent kept for the State Auckland Aces last summer and in one match when Nevin was injured in India he kept wickets for New Zealand A and took four catches.

Sulzberger has impressed selector Ross Dykes in India where Dykes has been managing the New Zealand A team.

Suzlberger made his New Zealand debut last summer in Zimbabwe when called into the side as a replacement player. He came back into consideration in India where he took a five-wicket bag in one of New Zealand A's Buchi Babu tournament victories and on the tour over he had shown enough form to be given another opportunity at international level, Hadlee said.

The full CLEAR Black Caps squad is: Stephen Fleming (captain), Nathan Astle, James Franklin, Chris Harris, Craig McMillan, Kyle Mills, Chris Nevin, Dion Nash, Jacob Oram, Mathew Sinclair, Glen Sulzberger, Daryl Tuffey, Daniel Vettori, Lou Vincent.

The squad for the Test leg of the tour will be named in Christchurch next week.
