How recalled to NZ ODI side

Jamie How has been recalled to the Black Caps' 15-man squad for the upcoming five match series in India.

The Central Districts batsman replaces BJ Watling in the squad.

Their was only one other change to the squad that lost a recent series to Bangladesh with Scott Styris returning from injury.

Hamish Bennett and Shanan Stewart were unavailable for selection due to injury.

Selector and coach Mark Greatbatch said: "We have kept faith with the bulk of the squad who played in the disappointing tour of Bangladesh and who have performed well in the current Test series against India.

"The squad sees the return of Jamie How who deserves his opportunity after impressing the selectors for some time. We feel One-day cricket is the format for him to return to international cricket.

"A couple of players, Martin Guptill and Gareth Hopkins, which were part of the New Zealand A team who recently toured Zimbabwe will stay on. Martin has shown good form with the bat and Gareth will provide wicket keeping cover for Brendon McCullum.

"Unfortunately this means BJ Watling misses out on selection and I'm sure he will look to score plenty of runs for the Northern Knights and press for selection in the future.

"This 15-man squad is really looking forward to playing positive cricket in what promises to be an exciting one-day series."

Squad: Daniel Vettori (captain), Grant Elliott, Martin Guptill, Gareth Hopkins, Jamie How, Brendon McCullum, Nathan McCullum, Andy McKay, Kyle Mills, Jesse Ryder, Tim Southee, Scott Styris, Ross Taylor, Daryl Tuffey, Kane Williamson.
