The Black Caps will welcome back BJ Watling for the second cricket test against the West Indies in Wellington starting tomorrow.
The 70-test veteran missed the opening test win in Hamilton with a hamstring injury, and said earlier this week he was at about 95 percent with his recovery.
At that stage, he still had to do full batting, wicket-keeping and sprint sessions to be cleared to return.
But he told Newstalk ZB he's even more confident now that he will play in the test.
"Got through a full training today at top speed, which isn't that fast," he quipped.
