EVERARD BARTLETT AND JARROD KENNY TALL BLACKS

HBS Bank Hawks Everard Bartlett and Jarrod Kenny retain their Tall Black Spots

After a final preparation camp over the weekend, the New Zealand’s men’s team have trimmed their squad from 14 players to 12 for the opening encounter against the Boomers at North Shore Events Centre on Wednesday, with Nelson Giants guard Brook Ruscoe and Manawatu Jets forward Jeremiah Trueman the unlucky omissions.

Ruscoe effectively loses his spot to NZ Breakers centre Alex Pledger, who also missed the China trip.

The final Tall Blacks line-up is Jordan Ngatai (4), Everard Bartlett (5), Izayah Mauriohooho Le’afa (6), Mika Vukona (7), Jarrod Kenny (8), Corey Webster (9), BJ Anthony (10), Tom Abercrombie (11), Reuben Te Rangi (12), Casey Frank (13), Jack Salt (14), Alex Pledger (15)
