WELLINGTON
New Zealand have announced split ODI squads for their upcoming tours of India and Pakistan in January to manage player and staff workloads, as all-rounder Henry Shipley gets a maiden call-up. NZ will play three ODIs each in Pakistan and India.
NZ ODI and Test captains Kane Williamson and Tim Southee will return home after the Pakistan ODIs in Karachi (January 10, 12, 14), along with coaches Gary Stead and Shane Jurgensen, to prepare for the England home Test series in mid-February.
For the three ODIs (January 18, 21, 24) and T20I (January 27, 29, February 1) series against India, Luke Ronchi will take over as head coach who will be assisted by NZC network coaches Bob Carter and Paul Wiseman.
Auckland Aces left-hander Mark Chapman and Otago Volts pace-bowler Jacob Duffy will replace Williamson and Southee, while Tom Latham will captain the ODI series against India. Leg-spinner Ish Sodhi (37 ODIs) and batter Henry Nicholls (58 ODIs) have been recalled for both series.
However, the squad for the T20I series against India will be announced after the opening rounds of the Dream11 Super Smash in NZ.
