New Zealand has turned to Will Somerville for his experience of playing in Sydney as it looks to avoid a whitewash in the third and final Test against Australia.
Off-spinner Somerville, who was raised in Australia and New Zealand and has played Sheffield Shield cricket for New South Wales, will replace injured pace bowler Trent Boult for the Test starting in Sydney on Friday.
Coach Gary Stead said the inclusion of the lanky 1.93 metre Somerville was a nod to the expected conditions at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
