Paceman Lockie Ferguson will have to wait for his Test cricket debut after being released, alongside Todd Astle, from the Black Caps squad for the first match against England.
Ferguson, a regular in the shorter form of the game for NZ, had a chance of playing against England in the first Test at Mount Maunganui starting tomorrow.
He will instead rejoin Auckland for the domestic one-day competition.
Tim Southee, Trent Boult and Neil Wagner will be the pace attack for the match.
New Zealand: Tom Latham, Jeet Raval, Kane Williamson (captain), Ross Taylor, Henry Nicholls, BJ Watling, Colin de Grandhomme, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Neil Wagner, Trent Boult.
