Blair Tickner has been called into the Blackcaps squad for the final two ODIs against England.
The Central Stags paceman replaces Kyle Jamieson, who has been ruled out of the series due to stiffness in his left side.
Tickner has 16 ODI wickets from 13 games and last played for the side in 2023.

“Blair’s an experienced campaigner and no stranger to international cricket,” said coach Rob Walter.
"He bowls a heavy ball from a decent height with plenty of energy and aggression. In that respect he can fill a similar role to what Kyle would normally perform."
The Blackcaps won Sunday's opening match in Tauranga by four wickets.
The second game takes place in Hamilton on Wednesday, with the finale in Wellington on Saturday.
