the minor premiership winners nz bushwackers have moved north to the country of India.

Coach had this to say about the move "It was in the best interests of both countries that we re-located to india from new zealand, especially after the threats by the india government to bomb new zealand until sachin tendulker was returned to them."
"In India we are guaranteed full stadiums and with a new zealand team entering the competition as the stallions i am hopeful that they will be competitive even if they haven't got four kiwis in the team at the moment".

Two players was released from the squad from last season they are zimbabwean marcus vermulen and aussie grandad jason gillespie.

The two players replacing them are sri lankan opener Tillekeratne Dilshan and indian bowler Tinu Yohannan.
