Leighton Morgan and Mathew Harvie are the new faces in the Otago Volts line up for their Plunket Shield Round 7 clash with the Auckland Aces. Morgan replaces Neil Broom who is away on national duty while Harvie replaces Warren McSkimming who has been ruled out with a back injury.

Mike Hesson points to Harvie and Morgan as examples of the depth in the current squad and commented that is great to have players of that quality to call into the side. The Volts were disappointed to let first innings points slip in Invercargill last week and then have rain take away the chance to push for an outright victory on day four. Otago now sit ten points behind leaders Northern Districts in the Plunket Shield, however with four rounds remaining and eight points on offer for an outright victory the side still believes it is right in contention.

Otago Volts
Craig Cumming (Captain), Nick Beard, Derek de Boorder, Anthony Bullick, Shaun Haig, Mathew Harvie, James McMillan, Leighton Morgan, Aaron Redmond, Greg Todd, Neil Wagner, Sam Wells
