WELLINGTON: Opening batsman Jeet Raval, all-rounder Colin de Grandhomme and batsman Neil Broom are the three new additions to New Zealand Cricket’s list of 21 contracted players for the 2017-18 season, the NZC announced on Friday. Among the notable omissions are fast bowler Doug Bracewell and off-spinner Mark Craig, besides wicketkeeper Luke Ronchi, who announced his retirement from international cricket on Thursday. Veteran offspinner Jeetan Patel, who also bid adieu to international cricket a few hours after Ronchi, was also omitted from the list.
