Vettori to return

              
   Vettori, who has been out of action for nearly a year, will be a welcome addition to the ODI side, bringing with his wealth of experience, both as a spinner and as a leader, having played 272 ODIs.Luke Ronchi gets his chance after impressing on the domestic scene. We know how dangerous he is and look forward to seeing him display his talents on the international stage.Also getting a call to the limited overs side is T20 specialist Luke Ronchi, who will be playing for the Black Caps for the first time since making the move from Australia, where he played four ODIs and three T20Is.Meanwhile, Guptill will be eager to impress during the two-match Test series, after a dire time against South Africa at the start of the year. He missed out on the drawn series at home against England as a result. New Zealand national selection boss Kim Littlejohn said: "The ODI squad has a core group of players who have now played in a number of international tournaments and bring a wealth of experience.The Black Caps will go to Blighty for a return Test series, where Martin Guptill and Mark Gillespie will join in after missing out during the leg in the Antipodes. This will be followed by three ODIs and then the ICC Champions Trophy.Having Daniel Vettori back in the side adds to that and we're really excited to have someone of his quality back in the team.
