Former Black Caps allrounder Jimmy Neesham dropped by Otago for Twenty20 matchGETTY IMAGES James Neesham has been out of form for Otago in the Twenty20 competition. Jimmy Neesham's chances of returning to the New Zealand side have slipped further after being dropped from his domestic Twenty20 team. The Otago allrounder has been omitted from the squad for the Volts' latest match in the Super Smash competition, against Auckland in Alexandra on Thursday. The 27-year-old, who has played 15 T20 matches for New Zealand - along with 41 ODIs and 12 tests - has been replaced in the Otago squad by seamer Matt Bacon. His last appearance for the Black Caps was in a one-day match against Bangladesh in Cardiff in June at the Champions Trophy.
