    New Zealand cricket coach Gary Stead is pleased with the depth at his disposal


    Tim Southee will captain a Black Caps squad of 15 for tests against Afghanistan and Sri Lanka on the subcontinent next month.

    Stead says conditions in Asia can be tough...and he'd have no qualms mixing up his line-up.



    Young fast bowlers Ben Sears and Will O'Rourke are set for their first overseas test experiences.
