Daniel Flynn, who has been missing from the Northern Knights all season due to a hip injury, returns to the team for the final round of the Ford Trophy against Canterbury in Rangiora tomorrow.
Flynn has been out of action following a pre-season operation to correct a hip problem that had plagued him for the previous 18 months.
The Knights are still without the injured Joseph Yovich, Anurag Verma and Corey Anderson. Black Caps BJ Watling and Trent Boult have been rested.
Northern Knights: James Marshall (c), Graeme Aldridge, Brent Arnel, James Baker, Jono Boult, Anton Devcich, Daniel Flynn, Brandon Hiini, Hamish Marshall, Peter McGlashan, Daryl Mitchell, Brad Wilson.
