Monday 24 April 2017 11:35, UK
Mitchell McClenaghan and Adam Milne have been named in New Zealand's squad for the Champions Trophy.
The two fast bowlers and all-rounder Corey Anderson are included in a 15-man group for the tournament, which takes place in England in June.
Injuries deprived New Zealand of McClenaghan and Milne for much of 2016, but both have been playing in the Indian Premier League recently.
"It's been good to see all three back on the park and bowling; together they add a lot of experience to our squad," Kiwis coach Mike Hesson said.
"Mitch and Adam have been running in well, and Corey has shown he'll be capable of providing an option with the ball.

"We believe it's an exciting squad; an experienced squad, and one that has the batting power and the bowling variations to prevail in a potentially high-scoring tournament."
Squad: Williamson (c), Anderson, Boult, Broom, de Grandhomme, Guptill, Latham, McClenaghan, Milne, Neesham, Patel, Ronchi, Santner, Southee, Taylor.
