The T20I series against India starts on January 21 in Nagpur, and New Zealand have made some squad updates.
Kristian Clarke will stay with the team after being added for the first three matches of the five-match series.
He took seven wickets in the three games, including dismissing Virat Kohli twice.
New Zealand coach Rob Walter said Kristian Clarke was added to the squad mainly as cover to manage the fast-bowling group.
“We want to ensure we’ve got enough pace-bowling options for the first three games of this series and it’s a great opportunity for Kristian to stay on with the group a little longer on his first tour of India,” Rob said.
Michael Bracewell has joined the squad in Nagpur after picking up a minor left-calf strain while fielding in the third ODI in Indore. Coach Rob Walter said Bracewell will be treated and monitored before a decision is made on his involvement in the rest of the tour.
Pace-bowler Adam Milne is also being assessed after injuring his left hamstring while bowling for Sunrisers Eastern Cape in the SA20 on Sunday.
This T20I series will be New Zealand’s final assignment before the T20 World Cup, which begins on February 7.
