Martin Guptill, the opener, has recovered from his back injury and was included in New Zealand’s 14-man squad for the upcoming one-day international series against Bangladesh.
Guptill was ruled out of the Twenty20 Internationals against India with an aggravated disc in his lower back, but a New Zealand Cricket release confirmed he had recovered enough to take his place in the ODI squad. He will play the first match in Napier pending a fitness test on Sunday, 10 February.
Kane Williamson, the New Zealand captain, has been rested for the third ODI of the three-match series – Colin Munro will replace him and open the innings in that game in Dunedin, with Tom Latham, the wicketkeeper-batsman, standing in as captain.
