New Broom sweeps into New Zealand team

Batsman Neil Broom is the one new face in the New Zealand cricket side named Sunday for the first two one-day internationals against the West Indies.
The squad contains three changes from the Twenty20 side with Grant Elliott and Jamie How recalled to the team.

Broom comes in for the injured Scott Styris, who broke a thumb in the first Twenty20 match on Friday, while James Franklin and Ewen Thompson are the two players omitted.

The head of the selection panel, Glenn Turner, said Broom had shown his potential as an international batsman playing in Australia and India with the Emerging Players and New Zealand A sides.

The second and final Twenty20 match is to be played in Hamilton on Sunday evening with the first one-day international in Queenstown on Wednesday.

New Zealand ODI squad:

Daniel Vettori (captain), Neil Broom, Grant Elliott, Daniel Flynn, Mark Gillespie, Jamie How, Brendon McCullum, Kyle Mills, Jacob Oram, Jeetan Patel, Jesse Ryder, Tim Southee, Ross Taylor.
