West Indies’ tour of New Zealand also gives one the opportunity to see many young players in action as West Indies-A play a 'Test' match against New Zealand-A, who have already drawn their two practice games against the tourists.
The exciting news surrounding West Indies-A team is the inclusion of Nicholas Pooran in the squad. Pooran has been the flagbearer of West Indies in white-ball cricket for the last two years and has developed into a fine batsman.
It remains to be seen if he could have a similar impact in red-ball cricket as well.
Squads to choose from:
New Zealand A
Dane Cleaver, Tim Seifert, Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, Joe Carter, Doug Bracewell, Cole McConchie, Nathan Smith, Scott Kuggeleijn, Ish Sodhi, Blair Tickner, Jacob Duffy.
West Indies A
Nicholas Pooran, Joshua Da Silva, Rovmann Powell, Shayne Moseley, Nkrumah Bonner, Brandon King, Raymon Reifer, Fabian Allen, Kyle Mayers, Hayden Walsh, Romario Shepherd, Oshane Thomas, Jayden Seales, Preston McSween.

Match Details
Match: New Zealand A vs West Indies A
Venue: Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui
Date and Time: 3rd December, 2020, 3:00 AM IST.
Pitch Report
The track at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui is expected to be a sporting surface, and both the bowlers and batsmen are likely to get almost equal help from it. However, the pitch tends to favour pacers more, so the spinners will likely have to sweat harder to get something off it.
