The Black Caps camp is happy but somewhat cautious about the return of fast bowlers Shane Bond and Darryl Tuffey to New Zealand cricket.
The NZC board has confirmed local players currently involved in the rebel Indian Cricket League, like Bond and Tuffey, wil become eligible immediately for the Black Caps, if they can prove they've cut all ties with the rebel Indian League.
The Black Caps are in London preparing for the Twenty20 World Cup and captain Daniel Vettori is guarded about the good news, saying if they are fit and in form then they would certainly put pressure on the existing players.
Meanwhile coach Andy Moles says if in form and fit, Bond would be an asset in all forms of the game.
