Volts charged up to take on best

The Otago Volts begin their quest for US$2.5 million in the Champions League Twenty20 tournament on Saturday - and should have a full team, sparking fully, after New Zealand's good run in the Champions Trophy 50-over tournament in South Africa.

Black Caps Brendon McCullum, Aaron Redmond, Neil Broom and Ian Butler join the Volts in India this week and will play two practice matches against other Champions League contenders before the competition proper starts on Thursday night (NZT). Otago have their first match against the highly-rated Cape Cobras, of South Africa, on Saturday.
