He was added to the New Zealand squad for the final two world cups, at Eton Dorney and Lucerne, but performed poorly in the single scull, making the B final in England and the C final in Switzerland.
Five-time single scull world champion Mahe Drysdale is set to return to the boat in Korea, pending a time-trial on Friday. The Olympic gold medallist is returning to the sport after a six-month sabbatical and will be aiming to prove his fitness in front of national selectors Richard Tonks, Barrie Mabbott and Conrad Robertson.
Elsewhere, the New Zealand squad is unchanged from the crews which competed in the 2013 world cup series. The Rowing NZ selectors felt the crews which competed across the three regattas performed well enough that a trial was unnecessary.
Rowing New Zealand high performance manager Alan Cotter endorsed the selector's decision, given the success the team have enjoyed this season.
"The team has performed well in 2013,'' he said. "Some crews have had more success than others, but this is a development year for our squad - with the ultimate goal being for medals at the Rio Olympic Games in 2016.
"The crews and coaches know what work needs to be done to step up to the standard required for the World Championships.''
A total of 38 rowers, consisting of 13 boats, were named in the squad. Heading the team are the three-time men's pair world champions and Olympic gold medallists Hamish Bond and Eric Murray, who will be gold medal favourites in their event.
The team will now have a few weeks to train at Lake Karapiro before they depart for South Korea on August 11, with the championships beginning in Chungju a fortnight later.
