New Zealand's selectors will monitor the progress of Tim Southee, a right-arm fast bowler, with great interest. He made his first-class debut for Northern Districts at the age of 18 in late 2006-07 and early the next season showed significant promise, claiming 6 for 68 in a particularly impressive effort against Auckland. Named in the squad for the Under-19 World Cup, Southee received a major boost when he was called into the senior set-up for New Zealand's Twenty20 matches against England in early 2008. On debut, he took 1 for 38 in a losing cause at Eden Park. Cricinfo staff February 2008
