Sulzberger was a last-minute addition to New Zealand’s squad

Right-arm spinner Sulzerberger made his debut for New Zealand in their tour of Zimbabwe which was only a few weeks before the Tournament. Sulzerberger played three matches, picking up a wicket in each match and conceding a total of 102 runs at an economy rate of 4.63.

Sulzerberger was initially not chosen in the squad for the tournament but an injury to Daniel Vettori prompted the selectors to recall him to the squad. However, Sulzerberger was only used as an extra as the Kiwis used Paul Wiseman as their only spinner throughout the tournament.

Following the tournament, Sulzerberger was never called up to the national team again.
