New Zealand's Adam Milne expected to return for World Cup quarter-final

Fast bowler Adam Milne is expected to return for New Zealand's World Cup quarter-final against West Indies at Wellington after recovering from a shoulder injury.

New Zealand are expected to recall fit-again bowler Adam Milne for their World Cup quarter-final with West Indies on Saturday morning.

The 22-year-old paceman had been an ever-present in the Black Caps team prior to a shoulder injury ruling him out of the final Pool A game versus Bangladesh.

Mitchell McClenaghan went for 68 in eight overs deputising for him in that three-wicket victory and Kiwi skipper Brendon McCullum has suggested that he will revert to the seam attack which included Milne in Wellington.

"I can sort of reveal it, but we need to have another look at the wicket. It's safe to assume, barring Adam Milne coming in for Mitchell McClenaghan, it will otherwise remain unchanged," McCullum told a press conference.

Milne has taken four wickets at an average of 39.25 during the tournament, conceding 4.44 runs per over.
