Luke Ronchi,
the former Australia wicketkeeper, has earned his first call-up to a
New Zealand squad after being picked for the one-day series against
England and the Champions Trophy in June. Daniel Vettori also made a
return after eight months out of international cricket with an ankle
injury, selected in the one-day side.
There were few surprises in New Zealand's Test squad for the England
tour, with opener Martin Guptill and fast bowler Mark Gillespie, both
returning from injuries, added to the group that featured in the recent
home series against England. With Gillespie's return, seamer Ian Butler
misses out, the only omission from those home Tests.Fast bowler Mitchell McClenaghan, who was ruled out after the first game
of the one-day series against England after suffering a side strain,
returns to the one-day side. He had been quite effective in the one game
he played, taking 4 for 56 though he could not complete his quota of
overs. Guptill had been injured in the same match, pulling a hamstring.Gillespie last played for New Zealand a year ago, in the home Test
series against South Africa. He then injured his ankle, before gaining a
call-up for the T20 series in South Africa in December, only to pick up
a side strain and miss out further.
