Injured Styris Ruled Out Bangladesh Tour

Wellington: A back stress fracture has ruled the allrounder Scott Styris out of New Zealand's upcoming tour of Bangladesh.

Styris, 35, remains a key figure in the country's limited-overs teams and will hope to stay in contention for the World Cup squad early next year.

New Zealand leave for Bangladesh at the end of the month to prepare for five one-day internationals. Martin Guptill has been dropped from the squad and will tour Zimbabwe with the A team instead after being told by the selectors to regain his form.

Jesse Ryder is back from an elbow injury, which ruled him out of the Sri Lanka tri-series, while Hamish Bennett, the uncapped fast bowler from Canterbury, is also in the 15-match outfit.

Squad Daniel Vettori (capt), Hamish Bennett, Grant Elliott, Brendon McCullum (wk), Nathan McCullum, Andy McKay, Kyle Mills, Jesse Ryder, Aaron Redmond, Tim Southee, Shanan Stewart, Ross Taylor, Daryl Tuffey, BJ Watling, Kane Williamson.
