Stags make one change for Nelson

The Central Stags have made one change to their 12 for the Plunket Shield rematch against the Auckland Aces, from 10.30am today at Saxton Oval in Stoke, Nelson.
 
Nelson scion Josh Clarkson comes into the squad for fellow allrounder Christian Leopard who has carried the drinks in the first two rounds.
 
The Round 3 match is the Stags’ first home game of the 2020/21 season, and will see them play the same two BLACKCAPS-studded teams as in the opening two rounds over the coming fortnight, with both matches free admission.
