New Zealand Cricket chief executive David White is being called as a witness in the perjury trial of former Black Cap Chris Cairns.
Cairns, 45, has been charged with perjury in the wake of a successful defamation case against former Indian Premier League boss Lalit Modi.
The trial is due to start at London's Crown Court in Southwark 5 October and is set to run for four weeks.
A New Zealand cricket spokesman confirmed White has been called to appear as a witness but would not comment further.

Other players who could be asked to testify are those who were involved in the now defunct rebel Indian Cricket League, including current Black Caps assistant coach Craig McMillan.
Other former Black Caps to have played in the competition included Darryl Tuffey, Chris Harris, Andre Adams and Nathan Astle.
Disgraced former Black Cap Lou Vincent, who confessed to several counts of match-fixing and was banned for life from the sport, will also appear.
