Ingram dropped from one day squad

12:36 pm on 11 March 2010

The New Zealand cricket team has confirmed one change to their line-up ahead of this afternoon's one dayer against Australia, with opener Peter Ingram being released from the squad.

Ingram will play for the Central Stags in tomorrow's Plunket Shield match against the Wellington Firebirds at the Basin Reserve.

Our cricket reporter believes Martin Guptill will instead partner Brendon McCullum at the top of the order.

Bowler Daryl Tuffey and all-rounder James Franklin undertook fitness tests yesterday and subject to further testing today, both should be available for selection.
