New Zealand national cricket team have reshuffled their squad ahead of the Bangladesh tour after injury and scheduling issues forced late adjustments.
Pacer Christian Clark has been ruled out after sustaining a finger injury, with left-arm seamer Ben Lister called up as his replacement.
Lister returns to the national setup after more than two years, having impressed in domestic cricket with Auckland Aces. Clark picked up the injury while representing New Zealand A in the second ODI against Sri Lanka A, damaging a finger on his right hand and subsequently being ruled out of the entire tour.
Fast bowler Ben Sears will not feature in the ODI series after obtaining a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to play in the Pakistan Super League for Rawalpindi Pindi Boys. Bangladesh spinner Rishad Hossain is also part of the same franchise.
Sears, however, is expected to rejoin the squad for the T20I series later in the tour.
New Zealand are scheduled to arrive in Dhaka on 13 April, with the ODI series set to begin on 17 April at Mirpur. The second ODI will be played on 20 April at the same venue, before the teams travel to Chattogram for the third match on 23 April.
The T20I series will start on 27 April in Chattogram, followed by the second match on 29 April. The final T20I will be held in Mirpur on 2 May after both teams return to Dhaka.
All ODI matches will begin at 11:00 am, while the T20Is are scheduled for 2:00 pm starts. Both series will be played using the Kookaburra Turf white ball.
New Zealand are due to depart Bangladesh on 2 May following the conclusion of the tour.
