    A win for the late bloomers

    A win for the late bloomers


    Canterbury wicketkeeper Cam Fletcher is celebrating his selection to the Black Caps squad for their test squad to play England from early June.

    It's his second call-up after being named for the South Africa tour, when he was back-up to Tom Blundell but didn't play.

    The 29-year-old will likely fill the same role in England, but says it's great to earn a spot after a few years at domestic level.
