Vettori picked for Scotland one-dayer

Daniel Vettori has been named in a 12-man New Zealand XI squad to play Scotland on October 15.

Vettori has been out of international cricket for 16 months; he last played an international during the Champions Trophy in June 2013. He has almost exclusively played Twenty20 cricket since then. There were four first-class matches for Northern Districts in between, but he has not played a one-day game during this period.

The last time Vettori bowled more than four overs in a match was during a first-class game in December 2013. Last week, he admitted of a lack of confidence in his body and said he had all but given up Test cricket. But playing the World Cup at home is an incentive enough for him to work through his injury concerns - his back being prime among them.

New Zealand have a possible 17 ODIs to play - 12 of them at home - before the World Cup.
