- Jimmy Neesham plotting path back to Black Caps through Wellington or Auckland BEN STRANG Last updated 17:20, May 24 2018 HAGEN HOPKINS/GETTY IMAGES Jimmy Neesham is weighing up Wellington and Auckland as options to continue his domestic cricket career.
- Wellington are firming as favourites to secure Jimmy Neesham’s services as he plots a path back to international cricket.
- Neesham has 12 tests, 41 ODIs and 15 T20 internationals to his name but hasn’t played for the Black Caps for nearly a year, since the Champions Trophy.
- Black Caps selector Gavin Larsen talked about Neesham and Otago team-mate Neil Broom when the 20 central contracts were announced this month.
- While coach Bruce Edgar wouldn’t comment on Neesham, his recent additions Hamish Bennett and Logan van Beek have been major success stories since leaving Canterbury for Wellington in successive seasons.
