Two additional players are also expected to be brought into the squad across the fourth and fifth ODIs, with the composition for the final match still to be confirmed. New Zealand Cricket said the Test squad to face India would be announced in the coming days. NEW DELHI: New Zealand have been forced into another squad reshuffle ahead of the third ODI against India, with mounting injury concerns threatening to disrupt their plans for the remainder of the series. Ferguson has been ruled out of the final two ODIs after failing to recover fully from a low-grade tear in his right calf. The injury was sustained during the T20I series against India. Northern Districts fast bowler Clarke has consequently been drafted into the squad to provide additional bowling cover for the third ODI. Henry and Kyle Jamieson, who were initially scheduled to join the Test camp in Wellington after the third ODI, will now remain with the ODI squad for the fourth match.
Meanwhile, Tom Latham, Daryl Mitchell, Henry Nicholls, Glenn Phillips and Nathan Smith will leave for Wellington on Wednesday to begin preparations for the Test series.
