Auckland: New Zealand have named a strong Test squad for the tour to India, with Jimmy Neesham making his return to the team after injury.
The Kiwis will play three Test matches against India, starting later this month, and while it is expected to be a trial by spin, Kane Williamson's men will hope they have enough firepower in the bowling department to trouble the hosts.
Neesham will give New Zealand an all-round option, and having played in the IPL in India before, his familiarity with the local conditions will also be seen as a positive factor.
"Jimmy has put in a lot of work to make sure he is physically ready for a return to Test cricket," New Zealand selector Gavin Larsen said.
Missing out on selection from the New Zealand team that recently toured Africa for Test matches against Zimbabwe and South Africa are Jeet Raval and Matt Henry.
India and New Zealand will play three Test matches in Kanpur, Kolkata and Indore, with the first one beginning on Sept. 22.
New Zealand squad: Kane Williamson (Capt.), Trent Boult, Doug Bracewell, Mark Craig, Martin Guptill, Tom Latham, Jimmy Neesham, Henry Nicholls, Luke Ronchi (wk), Mitchell Santner, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee, Ross Taylor, Neil Wagner, BJ Watling (wk).
