Wellington Firebirds opener Finn Allen has been placed on stand-by for his international debut with out-of-form veteran Martin Guptill getting the nod for the upcoming Twenty20 series against Australia.
Despite Allen scoring 512 runs at a strike rate of 193 in the Firebirds Super Smash title run, Black Caps selectors have gone with Guptill if he passes a fitness test.
The five-match series begins at Hagley Oval on February 22.

Time is a crazy construct in these pandemic days. It both flies and crawls, and just when you think you’ve conquered the calendar and settled into a routine, you realize it’s mid-winter school recess. The kids are off for a whole week and you have nothing planned.
