Wellington, Sept 19:
New Zealand today recalled temperamental allrounder Corey Anderson for the five-match ODI series against India next month and he will play as a specialist batsman.
Experienced pacer Tim Southee, who was ruled out of the forthcoming Test series against India after straining an ankle ligament, has found a place in the 15-member squad, while Henry Nicholls, who is part of the five-day game squad, has been dropped.
Batsman Anton Devcich, allrounder Jimmy Neesham and wicketkeeper BJ Watling have also been recalled to the squad for the series beginning in Dharamsala on October 16.
Anderson last played an international game for New Zealand during the World T20 in India, before a back injury ruled him out of the tours of Zimbabwe and South Africa.
He proved his fitness in three matches for a New Zealand XI against an Emerging XI at Christchurch last week. (PTI)
