The South African-born 22-year-old had two seasons with Auckland but was not getting the regular opportunities he craved. During the years, the track south from Auckland to Dunedin has proved beneficial for many players. Hicks, who has played nine first-class games and averages 20.64 and 55.33 with the ball, moved to Dunedin a month ago.
