Neesham (27) declined to comment on his future when contacted by the Otago Daily Times yesterday.
He was dropped from the Otago team for the Super Smash competition after three rounds of the competition and did not play for the side, which finished last, again.
It was believed Neesham did not train with the side after he was dropped just after Christmas and took some time out from the game.
He was spotted with the Otago team at its game at Eden Park on Sunday.
When contacted yesterday, Neesham did not wish to comment on whether he would play in the Ford Trophy for Otago.
He posted on social media a couple of days ago he was keen to play club cricket in Auckland last Saturday for Suburbs New Lynn but did not receive a clearance from Auckland Cricket.
Otago Cricket Association chief executive Mike Coggan did not return calls yesterday, and Otago Volts coach Rob Walter could not be contacted.
The Volts side had a twenty20 campaign to forget, finishing last. It is having a two-week break before it resumes in the one-day Ford Trophy competition.
Neesham comes from Auckland and made his first-class debut for Auckland in the 2010-11 season.
He headed south the following season to link with Otago and has been a key contributor for Otago in the past few seasons.
He first played for New Zealand in the twenty20 format in 2012 and then made his one-day international debut for New Zealand in January 2013.
He made his test debut just over a year later.
Neesham made a century in each of his first two tests and is a player of some talent. But he has struggled in the past six months after being dropped from the New Zealand side for the short tour of India in September.
He was told to go back to first-class cricket and score runs and take some wickets. But he has been hampered with niggling injuries and then struggled in the Super Smash competition with both the ball and bat.
His future now is far from clear.
Neesham on form is a real asset for a side. He can be destructive with the bat and also bowl some quality deliveries. But whether he is in the right head space to come back and play for Otago is up in the air.
Neesham may see a move to another association - perhaps back to Auckland - as a way to rejuvenate his career, although Auckland has plenty of talent to call on.
He may also opt to go down the route carved out by the likes of Mitchell McClenaghan and pursue a career in various twenty20 competitions around the world.
That, of course, will depend on him getting on the field and making runs and taking wickets.
