Wellington, June 3 (UNI) New Zealand have named four changes to their central contract list for the 2025/2026 season, with Mitch Hay, Muhammad Abbas, Zak Foulkes and Adi Ashok all included for the first time.
The quartet come in after making strong performances for the Black Caps over the last 12 months, and will likely feature when the side tour Zimbabwe in July and host the likes of the West Indies and England in the upcoming home summer.
Wicket-keeper/batter Hay made headlines with an unbeaten 99 off just 78 balls in an ODI against Pakistan earlier this year, and also set a world record with six dismissals in a T20I during his debut tour in Sri Lanka in November.
