Former rugby international Jeff Wilson has been included in the New Zealand squad for Thursday's historic Twenty20 match against Australia in Auckland. Wilson was named in a 13-man squad captained by Stephen Fleming to play the Australians in the first 20-overs-a-side match between two international sides. Wilson, 31, played the last of his four one-day matches for New Zealand in 1993 before quitting to concentrate on rugby after being picked for the All Blacks.
In a brilliant career as a winger and fullback, Wilson played 60 tests for New Zealand before hanging up his boots in 2002 to return to cricket.
NEW ZEALAND SQUAD: Stephen Fleming (captain), Nathan Astle, Mathew Sinclair, Scott Styris, Hamish Marshall, Craig McMillan, Chris Cairns, Brendon McCullum, Daniel Vettori, Andre Adams, Jeff Wilson, Kyle Mills, Daryl Tuffey.
