The New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori will make his Australian domestic debut on Wednesday when he lines up for Queensland in their Twenty20 game against New South Wales at Stadium Australia in Sydney. Vettori was named in a 13-man squad for what is a must-win match for both teams, each of whom have one victory from three games.
It could be a one-off appearance for Vettori, who is available only for this match and the preliminary final on January 19, should the Bulls qualify. Vettori will play for Northern Districts in New Zealand's Twenty20 tournament, the HRV Cup, on Tuesday and will fly in to Sydney on the day of the Big Bash match to link up with the Queensland side.
He must then head straight back to New Zealand for another HRV Cup fixture on Friday. Vettori has replaced the batsman Nathan Reardon in the squad, in the only change from the group that defeated Tasmania at the Gabba on Friday.
