Rush hour looms if you want to keep wicket in any format for the Black Caps at present

Tom Blundell has the test gloves, and he's accelerated ahead of Cam Fletcher on the back of his showing in England.

Tom Latham has the 50-over mitts, but Dane Cleaver appears to have overtaken Tim Seifert, Fletcher and Blundell as 2-I-C for next month's tour of Ireland, Scotland and the Netherlands.

Cleaver has also nosed in front of Seifert and Fletcher for the T20 gig as selector Gavin Larsen explains.



Elsewhere for the tour, Michael Rippon is the first left-arm wrist spinner selected in the 92-year history of New Zealand international cricket.
