Batsman Martin Guptill has been ruled out of New Zealand's tour of Bangladesh due to finger and ankle injuries.
Guptill fractured a bone in his right hand during a recent stint for the Guyana Amazon Warriors in the Caribbean Premier League. While he won't require surgery, specialists have insisted the finger be immobilised in a splint. A full recovery is expected within five weeks.
Team physiotherapist Paul Close, meanwhile, has confirmed Guptill will undergo surgery on his injured right ankle, which the hard-hitting right-hander has been nursing for almost 12 months.
The Black Caps and Bangladesh will contest two Tests, three ODIs and a one-off Twenty20 International, starting in October. The Test squad will be named by head coach Mike Hesson and new national selection general manager Bruce Edgar on 6 September in Auckland.
