NZ vs AUS Key Players

Mohammad Amir

Mohammad Amir is back in Pakistan colors. He returns against the team he made his first comeback with after his ban and now has another point to prove after retiring few years ago.

James Neesham

A few years ago, Neesham was a crucial part of the New Zealand line-up and franchise circuit. He is a lot more silent now and performances from his end have been pretty quiet as well. Facing a full-strength Pakistan side, Neesham has his work cut out with a side full of younger players around him.

PAK vs NZ Match Tips
