Several of the current State Northern Knights squad are scheduled to play in Northern Districts Cricket's One-Day Tournament being staged at Owen Delany Park in Taupo from Monday 16 to Wednesday, December 18. This annual one-day tournament features teams from Northland, Counties Manukau, Hamilton, Bay of Plenty, Poverty Bay, Thames Valley and Midlands.

This tournament assumes a high level of importance in terms of selection for the State Northern Knights State Shield programme and Northern Districts 'A'. With a number of Northern Districts players expected to be selected for the TelstraClear Black Caps one-day campaign against India, a number of positions in both sides will be up for grabs.

With the quality of cricketers on show, the competition for places and the traditionally favourable conditions at Owen Delany Park looks set for a great week of cricket.
