His insights have greatly assisted the fast bowlers for this Test and it was great having him around the group," Hohns said."James has been with the squad through the summer, has performed well Marsh Sheffield Shield matches and is thoroughly deserving of his recall to the team," he added.The third Test between Australia and New Zealand will be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground from January 3-7.( With inputs from ANI )
