NZ vs BAN Test: Northern Districts paceman Neil Wagner has been called up to the BLACKCAPS Test squad for Bangladesh to replace the injured Matt Henry.
Henry has been recovering in New Zealand after tearing his right hamstring mid-way through the ICC Cricket World Cup in India.
Following further scans and assessments this week, it was deemed the injury had not sufficiently healed to have him ready and available for Test match cricket.
With the first of two Tests starting in less than two weeks on November 28, the decision was made to call up 63-Test BLACKCAPS Wagner.

Wagner returned to the Plunket Shield for Northern Districts in Dunedin this week after overcoming a back-injury which saw him miss rounds two and three of the competition.
BLACKCAPS selector Sam Wells said they were lucky to have a player of Wagner’s calibre to call on.
“It’ll be great to have Neil’s skill and experience on the tour of Bangladesh,” he said.
“His record speaks for itself and we all know what a great competitor he is.
The New Zealand-based BLACKCAPS Test players depart for Bangladesh on Tuesday November 21.
The majority of the squad who also featured at the ICC Cricket World Cup in India are currently in Dubai recovering before they relocate to Sylhet next week.
