    Will Young embodies the sacrifices made by cricketers to aspire to test level

    Will Young embodies the sacrifices made by cricketers to aspire to test level


    He's been included as cover in the Black Caps for the two-match series against Sri Lanka.

    His best opportunity for selection appears to be as a replacement for Jeet Raval, who averaged a shade under 22 opening in six innings against Pakistan in the UAE.

    The Central Districts batsman's given up a fishing charter with his provincial teammates so he can assemble with the New Zealand team in Wellington this week.

    He says his Christmas plans to visit his grandfather in Masterton are also on hold.

    The closest Young's previously come to a cap was on standby with the test team in England during 2015 when B-J Watling got injured.
