CLT20 Time! Is Otago Volts Ready?

Otago gets a second chance to have a go at Champions League T20 (CLT20). Having participated in Champions League 2009, they could not reach the main draw of the competition as they have lost both the qualification games.

It looks like they have prepared well this time. Prior coming to India, They trained themselves in Australia for few days and then moved to Sri Lanka to play few practice games against local clubs. Glad that they won all the games and seems well prepared  for this T20 bash.

With the players like Brendon McCullum, RN ten Doeschate, Nathan McCullum, HD Rutherford, Neil Wagner in the squad, one can expect the team to do well!

Otago Volts Squad for CL T20:
DC de Boorder*†, NB Beard, MG Bracewell, NT Broom, IG Butler, MD Craig, JA Duffy, BB McCullum†, NL McCullum, JM McMillan, JDS Neesham, AJ Redmond, HD Rutherford, RN ten Doeschate, N Wagner

Volts will face Faisalabad Wolves, Kandurata Maroons and Sunrisers Hyderabad in the qualification round on 17th, 18th & 20th of this month respectively.

Looks like Otago is well prepared this time, however, the Coach Vaughan raised fitness & availability issues with all-rounder RTD. It'll be a big blow to the balance of the side if RN ten Doeschate is not available!

Wishing them Good Luck from BCF!
