Meanwhile, the all-rounder, Jimmy Neesham would like to make it into the contract list through domestic performances.

Further, the stylish all-rounder expressed his desire to play the upcoming 2019 World Cup. He also discussed his lost chances due to the stress fracture which put him away from the game for a couple of seasons.

“What the New Zealand team is crying out for is an all-rounder they can rely on day in, day out, and not someone who’s just going to turn up now and then. That’s where I want to put my stake in the ground and say through domestic performances, ‘here I am, I’m ready to go’,” said Neesham in a conversation with stuff.co.nz.

“I had a moment last season with two-three contracts in front of me that would have required me to cut down what I was willing to play for New Zealand. I looked at the options and decided I wasn’t going to be able to look back on my career at 50 if I’d taken the easy option that early. I want to play all three forms for New Zealand, not for the next 12 months but for the next four-five years,” he added.

However, it seems like Jimmy Neesham is confident of making a return to the Kiwis International cricket. Certainly, the addition of him will be a good aspect for Kiwis, as he can offer his services in all departments of the game.
