Neil Wagner has been called up to the Black Caps 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 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 Black Cap 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.
