Uncapped fast bowler Doug Bracewell has been named in New Zealands Test and one-day cricket squads to tour Zimbabwe next month, becoming the latest player with that surname to represent New Zealand.Bracewell is the son of former test fast bowler Brendon Bracewell and the nephew of test off-spinner and former New Zealand coach John Bracewell.Coach John Wright, who was a teammate of both Brendon and John Bracewell, said the younger Bracewell, who turns 21 next week, had caught his eye both with his lively pace and as a hard-hitting lower-order batsman.Wright said Doug has got cricket in his blood and Ive got a hunch he may turn out to be a tough competitor, typical of some of his relations.New Zealand will play Twenty20 internationals against Zimbabwe on Oct. 15 and 17 and one-day internationals at Harare on Oct. 20 and 22 and Bulawayo on Oct. 25.
