New Zealand on Monday announced a 13-member squad for the upcoming PAK v NZ ODI series.
The Black Caps have included two uncapped players including top-order batter Nick Kelly and Pakistan-born left-arm pacer Muhammad Abbas.
The two have featured for Wellington Firebirds in New Zealand’s first-class cricket setup.
Tom Latham will lead the side in the three-match PAK v NZ ODI series in the absence of white-ball skipper Mitchell Santner.
Among the major names missing in the New Zealand squad are Mitchell Santner, Rachin Ravindra, Devon Conway and Glenn Phillips owing to IPL 2025 commitments.
