New Zealand selector Gavin Larsen says that both Corey Anderson and Adam Milne are still in contention for a slot at the World Cup. The duo have not played a single minute of International white ball cricket since 2017, but Larsen still doesn't want to rule They out of his selection.
"They're been crickets and both are classy players," Larsen was quoted as saying by Stuff.co.nz. "It's been really disappointing to watch both of them go through a frustrating period with their injuries. It's been really pleasing to See They both back on the park. We're monitoring them closely."
Both Anderson and Milne last featured for the Blackcaps in a T20 game against Pakistan last year, with Milne side-lined due to a hamstring injury and Anderson nursing a heel injury. Anderson has played 49 ODIs for his country while Milne has represented New Zealand 40 Times in One Day Internationals.
"From a pure ODI perspective, of course these games (against Bangladesh) are vital, and that's where we're honing things down," Larsen said. "But there's still a lot of four-day cricket to be played, and it gives Opportunities for the likes of the Corey Anderson's and the Adam Milne's to really show their wares and put their names forward.
"We don't want to say that it's a last throw of the dice, because there's still a good window of opportunity."
