    A conundrum looms for New Zealand Cricket over the use of players who are not centrally contracted

    A conundrum looms for New Zealand Cricket over the use of players who are not centrally contracted

    14 March 2025
    The governing body's outlined via a release that Finn Allen, Jimmy Neesham and Tim Seifert have been included in the squad to play Pakistan, after confirming their availability for the build-up series to next year's T20 World Cup against India and Afghanistan.

    Selector Sam Wells claimed the trio had committed to that preparation in January and February.

    However, Newstalk ZB understands that strategy could be tested if the trio - or any others - are selected for the concurrent Australian BBL, South African SA20 or UAE ILT20 leading into a global tournament.

    That could involve a reluctance for more players to sign central contracts mid-year.
