Auckland, Sep 25(ANI): New Zealand off-spinner Jeetan Patel and all-rounder James Franklin have been recalled into the national team for next month's tour to Zimbabwe.
Patel and Franklin were both cut from the nationally contracted list of 20 in July, but have been handed selection reprieves by coach John Wright.
Patel has been included in the Test squad, while Franklin has been included in the Twenty20 and ODI squad.
"He [Patel] has been here [training camp at Lincoln] for the last week and we've been encouraged by what we've seen. He's played some county cricket with Warwickshire in which he performed with credit," stuff.co.nz quoted Wright, as saying.
Patel had played the last of his 12 Tests in India last November.
ODI and Twenty20 squad: Ross Taylor (captain), Graeme Aldridge, Doug Bracewell, James Franklin, Martin Guptill, Brendon McCullum, Nathan McCullum, Andy McKay, Kyle Mills, Rob Nicol, Jacob Oram, Jesse Ryder, BJ Watling, Kane Williamson, Luke Woodcock.
