Nathan Smith and Josh Clarkson earn New Zealand central contracts

Smith and Clarkson will fill the spots vacated by Devon Conway and Finn Allen, who rejected the offers last month to play franchise leagues around the world. The 27-year-old Clarkson bats in the middle-order and is a medium-pace bowler. He has played three ODIs in 2023 and six T20Is this year for the Blackcaps. Meanwhile, the 26-year-old Smith is yet to make his international debut. He is also a seam-bowling all-rounder.
