Williamson, Bracewell skip New Zealand's tour to Zimbabwe
July 8 (Reuters) - Kane Williamson and Michael Bracewell will skip the upcoming two-test tour of Zimbabwe with the blessing of New Zealand Cricket, while paceman Ben Sears has been ruled out by a side injury. Rob Walter, who replaced Gary Stead as coach last month, named his first test squad on Tuesday, awarding a call-up to uncapped young fast bowler Matt Fisher and recalling experienced hands Ajaz Patel and Henry Nicholls. "Kane and Michael were up front with New Zealand Cricket about their availability for this tour during the contracting process," Walter said in a news release. "While all test matches are hugely special and important, the fact these tests aren't part of the World Test Championship did influence the discussions on this occasion. "We will obviously miss their talent and class, but it allows an opportunity to others and we're lucky to be able to call on the likes of Ajaz and Henry who are both proven performers at test level." All-rounder Bracewell has been allowed to miss the tour to play in The Hundred in England, while paceman Kyle Jamieson has elected to stay in New Zealand for the birth of his first child. Jamieson's absence offers potential opportunities for Fisher and Jacob Duffy, who has played short-format matches for New Zealand but is yet to win a test cap, in the two matches in Bulawayo in late July and early August. Team: Tom Latham (captain), Tom Blundell, Devon Conway, Jacob Duffy, Matt Fisher, Matt Henry, Daryl Mitchell, Henry Nicholls, Will O'Rourke, Ajaz Patel, Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra, Mitch Santner, Nathan Smith, Will Young

WATCH: Michael Bracewell appeals for DRS after getting clean bowled in MLC clash
In a hilarious incident during the Major League Cricket match between MI New York and San Francisco Unicorns, Michael Bracewell tried to go for a review after he was clean bowled. Bracewell, representing MI New York was cleaned up by Romario Shepherd and curiously asked for a DRS. He realized his mistake seconds later and with an awkward laugh, went back to the pavilion while the moment instantly went viral on the internet. In the match, the Unicorns batter first with Matthew Short scoring 91 and Jake Fraser-McGurk making 64 as they helped their team post a formidable 246/4. Kieron Pollard was the pick of the bowlers and he picked 2 wickets for 31 runs. This was the Unicorns' fourth 200-plus total in five outings this season. Ever seen a batter (accidentally) try to review after getting bowled? Poor Michael Bracewell got a little confused 😂 — 7Cricket (@7Cricket) June 24, 2025 Short scored his 91 in 43 deliveries with 14 boundaries while Fraser-McGurk smashed 7 sixes to get his 64 off just 26 deliveries. Hassan Khan would then slam a swift 31 off 9 leading to the SFU posting a massive total. Chasing, New York's Quinton de Kock scored 70 and Monank Patel slammed 60 but they could only reach 199/6 with the unicorns wining by 47 runs. de Kock and Patel blazed their way to a 119-run stand in just 9.3 overs before the latter was dismissed Incidentally, this wasn't the first time when a batter had asked for a review after he was cleaned up. England spinner Shoaib Bashir had done exactly that last year when he had asked for DRS after getting cleaned up by India's Ravindra Jadeja. Joe Root, who was at the non striker's end, was in splits and informed his partner that he was out. Ravichandran Ashwin was another player who mistakenly asked for a review after being cleaned up by New Zealand's Ajaz Patel in 2021. With Patel's delivery clipping the top of off stump, Ashwin did not know about it and thought he was given out caught behind. He soon realized what had transpired and walked back to the hut.

MI Batter Tries To Review A Bowled In MLC, Has To Walk Off Red-Faced, Video Viral
Last Updated: Michael Bracewell mistakenly tried to review a clean-bowled dismissal in a 2025 MLC. His reaction after he got to know said it all! MI New York batter Michael Bracewell had to walk back red-faced and with a sheepish smile after mistakenly trying to review a clean-bowled in a 2025 Major League Cricket (MLC) match against San Francisco Unicorns on Tuesday (June 24). He was out for a golden duck in a big 47-run loss for the New Yorkers. It happened on the second ball of the 17th over with MI attempting to chase the steep target of 247 set by the Unicorns. Bracewell faced Romario Shepherd for his first ball, who had gotten rid of the well-set Quinton de Kock on the previous delivery. Bracewell got a skiddy straight ball on his off-stump and tried to swipe it to the leg-side but missed the bounce, letting the rock sneak under his blade to clatter the off-stump. MI were already quite behind the contest before that over, but by taking two wickets and leaking just two runs, Shepherd put the final nail in the coffin. Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) fans would be quite aware of his impact in such situations both with bat and ball as he did the same for them in IPL 2025. 'Tough day for us, credit to them," MI captain Nicholas Pooran reflected after the match, as quoted by Cricbuzz. 'We didn't execute our plans as a bowling group. If we chased that down, it would be a great chase. The opening partnership gave us a chance, but credit to them, they bowled well in the middle phase." MI have managed to win just one of their five games so far. 'We've had some tough games, it is challenging when the other teams are also playing nicely. We need to go over our plans again and come out with better execution of those plans," Pooran said. First Published:
