New Zealand squad to tour Bangladesh

A left-handed batsman Anton Devcich has been added in New Zealand's ODI and T20 squad to tour Bangladesh.

The 27-year-old is the only uncapped player in the NZ squad for the three ODI's and one-off Twenty20 international. While Martin Guptill has been ruled out due to a broken finger.

"Anton showed very good signs against England last season for New Zealand A and has transitioned from a middle order batsman to an aggressive top order player," Edgar said. "He is also an outstanding fielder with the ability to contribute as a left arm spin bowling option which will be useful in the sub-continent.

"Adam [Milne] returns to the team after a number of injury concerns and he offers the squad genuine pace. We've been impressed with his rhythm and pace on the New Zealand A tour of India."

NZ Squad: Brendon McCullum (capt), Corey Anderson, Mitchell McClenaghan, Nathan McCullum, Hamish Rutherford, Tim Southee, Anton Devcich, Grant Elliott, Kyle Mills, Adam Milne, Tom Latham, Colin Munro, Jimmy Neesham, Ross Taylor, Kane Williamson.
