Batsman Ross Taylor has been named in New Zealand's ODI and Twenty20 International squads to face England this month.

Taylor, who took a self-imposed break following his controversial removal as captain after the Sri Lanka tour. missed the recent series against South Africa.

However, he recently returned to topflight cricket at domestic level and has also been included in the New Zealand XI squad to face England in two practice fixtures next week.

The son of former New Zealand skipper Ken Rutherford, Hamish Rutherford has earned a maiden T20I call-up on the back of a fine stretch of form for Otago. All-rounder Andrew Ellis and seamer Ian Butler, meanwhile, have been recalled.

"Andrew proved his worth with the team last summer, while Ross is a world-class batsman who is a key part of this Black Caps side. Hamish has shown he is an explosive batsman and we hope he can bring that form to the Blackcaps," said coach Mike Hesson.

Fast bowler Tim Southee and all-rounder Corey Anderson, both sidelined by thumb injuries, were not considered for selection - and opener Martin Guptill has retained his place despite a string of poor performances against the Proteas.

"There are a couple of changes that have been forced through injury but essentially we want to be seen to provide continuity from one series to the next," added national selection general manager Kim Littlejohn.

"We are, however, looking at developing talented youngsters and finding a new crop of all-rounders in our build-up to the Champions Trophy in June and the 2015 World Cup."

The three-match T20I series gets underway at Eden Park in Auckland on 9 February.

T20I squad: Brendon McCullum (captain), Trent Boult, Ian Butler, Grant Elliott, Andrew Ellis, James Franklin, Martin Guptill, Ronnie Hira, Mitchell McClenaghan, Nathan McCullum, Colin Munro, Hamish Rutherford, Ross Taylor.

ODI squad: Brendon McCullum (captain), Trent Boult, Grant Elliott, Andrew Ellis, James Franklin, Martin Guptill, Mitchell McClenaghan, Nathan McCullum, Kyle Mills, Colin Munro, Ross Taylor, BJ Watling, Kane Williamson.
