LONDON: Tom Blundell was plucked from obscurity to be the surprise pick in New Zealand’s squad for the Cricket World Cup but the wicketkeeper could be in line for his one-day international debut when they face Sri Lanka in Cardiff on Saturday. The 28-year-old did his chances no harm with 106 against West Indies in their final warmup game in Bristol and follows on from 77 against Australia earlier this month in Brisbane. Blundell, however, would only make the starting side if regular wicketkeeper Tom Latham does not recover from a broken finger. “I’m happy where my game is at currently, both keeping and batting-wise,” Blundell told reporters New Zealand’s 91-run loss to a rampaging West Indies team who smashed 18 sixes in their 421 runs at Bristol. Blundell had barely played any domestic one-day cricket in New Zealand before his surprise selection and his potential first ODI appearance could mirror how he made his test debut against West Indies in late 2017. The Wellingtonian was brought into the side for the injured BJ Watling and proceeded to score an unbeaten century on debut on his home ground at the Basin Reserve.
