One player`s debut can signal another`s demise in cricket selections, and so it has proved for Central Districts batsmen Tom Bruce and Ross Taylor ahead of the three-match series against Bangladesh.Bruce, 25, has averaged 76 in domestic T20 this season and will add to the side`s offensive threat alongside Kane Williamson, Martin Guptill and Colin Munro."Tom has been one of the leading players in Super Smash the past two years and is one of the cleanest strikers of a ball in this country," selector Gavin Larsen says.Meanwhile, batsman Ross Taylor has been omitted from the side for performance-related reasons rather than fitness-related.Taylor, 32, is currently recovering from eye surgery but is expected to return for the side`s Test series against Bangladesh next month.He`ll also return to domestic T20 action in the coming days.Napier will host the opening Twenty20 on January 3, with the series shifting to Mount Maunganui for matches on January 6 and 8.Source: Agencies
