    Cricket's Plunket Shield starts in half an hour, with only those involved in the Caribbean and Indian Premier Leagues or English county cricket having played since March


    Rather than any overseas assignment, Wellington pace bowler Hamish Bennett opted for a standard off-season staple.



    Matt Henry and Tom Latham will feature for Canterbury, but a calf injury will keep Henry Nicholls out.

    Northern Districts and Central also start today in Hamilton.

    Auckland and Otago begin tomorrow.
