    Missing out on the Black Caps has added more fuel to the fire for New Zealand's leading domestic T-20 run scorer

    Missing out on the Black Caps has added more fuel to the fire for New Zealand's leading domestic T-20 run scorer


    Wellington's Finn Allen was in scintillating form for the Firebirds last season which saw him earn a call up to the New Zealand squad.

    He missed out on the touring party to the UAE however with the Black Caps using Daryl Mitchell to open alongside Martin Guptill.

    Allen outlines exactly where he needs to improve to return to the international fold.



    It comes with confirmation today that Wellington will open their Super Smash defence against Canterbury on November 26.
