KEY POINTS:
Northern Districts teenager Tim Southee and Wellington's Jesse Ryder have been picked for the New Zealand 11 to play Bangladesh in a Twenty20 cricket game in Hamilton on Sunday.
The New Zealand 11, who will be captained by former national skipper Stephen Fleming, is mostly made up of current Black Caps.
Also included is Canterbury batsman Peter Fulton who has missed the early part of the international season after recently undergoing knee surgery.
"The game will be an opportunity for a number of Black Caps to play ahead of their series against Bangladesh," selection manager Sir Richard Hadlee said today.
" It also allows the chance for some exciting emerging players.
"Jesse Ryder is an undoubted talent at the top of the order, while (New Zealand under-19 player) Tim Southee is a very promising fast bowler.
"This match gives both players exposure to international-class level of competition."
Sir Richard said the game would also mark the last time Fleming would captain a New Zealand team in a limited overs game.
The match is part of efforts to fund raise for World Vision's Cyclone Sidr relief efforts.
