Fast-bowler Kyle Jamieson has been included in the New Zealand squad for the upcoming Twenty20 series against the West Indies, despite missing the one-day series against England with a side injury, but fellow paceman Matt Henry has been rested.
Spinner Ish Sodhi also returns for the five-match series beginning in Auckland on Wednesday, which offers coach Rob Walter a final chance to see his team in action, before he names a provisional squad for the World Cup in India early next year.
Henry, who missed the England series with a calf injury, will sit out the series for what New Zealand Cricket described as a "pre-planned conditioning block" to ensure he is fit for the one-day and test series against the tourists.
Former skipper Kane Williamson announced his retirement from the format earlier on Sunday, but he will continue to play T20 franchise cricket.
Squad: Mitchell Santner (captain), Michael Bracewell, Mark Chapman, Devon Conway, Jacob Duffy, Zak Foulkes, Kyle Jamieson, Daryl Mitchell, Jimmy Neesham, Rachin Ravindra, Tim Robinson, Tim Seifert, Nathan Smith, Ish Sodhi
