Dion Nash, named in the CLEAR Black Caps one-day team yesterday returns to the Auckland side for tomorrow's State Shield match with Otago at Molyneux Park in Alexandra.

Otago lost their first round game with Wellington by three runs earlier in the week and Auckland have lost both their games in the last over.

Also returning to the team is Nick Horsley while Rob Nicol, the New Zealand Under-19 representative, was not available due to a broken finger and he will be unable to play for at least 10 days.

Auckland coach and selection convener Tony Sail said: "We are very disappointed not to have won our first two matches, when the result was there for the taking.

"The players know they have played in two hard fought cricket matches and are disappointed not to have rewarded the very vocal and supportive Auckland crowd with victories."

Also appearing in the game will be Nash's fellow Black Caps Andre Adams, Kyle Mills and Mark Richardson.

The full team is: Brooke Walker (captain), Andre Adams, Aaron Barnes, Tama Canning, Chris Drum, Mark Haslam, Matt Horne, Nick Horsley, Kyle Mills, Dion Nash, Mark Richardson, Reece Young.
