The New Zealand Test: Uncapped pacer Ben Sears has been added to New Zealand ODI squad as a cover for fast-bowler Kyle Jamieson, who experienced stiffness in his left hamstring after travelling back from Bangladesh, where the BlackCaps played a two-match Test series.

The New Zealand Test squad returned home on Tuesday evening and Jamieson, who played both Tests in Bangladesh, then flew on to Dunedin on Thursday.

“We’re taking a cautious approach with Kyle. We don’t want to rush or push him back, particularly at the very start of our home summer. He could play if absolutely necessary but we don’t want to take any unnecessary risks, hence calling in Ben for this first match.”
