New Zealand have added opening batsman Jamie How to their Test squad as cover for batsman Daniel Flynn, who is carrying a hand injury.
Flynn was hit on his left hand while batting in the first Test against India in Hamilton and although scans have shown no sign of a fracture, swelling is hampering his batting.
Further treatment and a late assessment on his fitness will precede New Zealand picking their team for the second match which begins in Napier on 26th March.
