Brett Randell has earned his first New Zealand call-up for the final two ODIs against India, while Josh Clarkson joins for the fifth match. The separate match lists matter: Clarkson is not part of the announced group for the fourth ODI.
According to the ICC update, the remaining games are scheduled for November 13 and November 15 at Mount Maunganui. India lead the series 2-0 after the third match in Hamilton ended without a result, leaving New Zealand with two opportunities to respond.
Randell earns his opportunity
The 31-year-old pace bowler arrives after consistent work in domestic cricket and with New Zealand A. Coach Rob Walter backed the selection on that record. A first call-up opens the door to an international debut, although the final eleven remains a match-day decision.
New Zealand have managed several changes during this series, with injury concerns and preparations for the following Test assignment affecting their options. The updated groups provide a clearer guide than an earlier tour-wide list.
Different groups for the two matches
Matt Henry and Kyle Jamieson appear in the fourth-match group. Clarkson and Blair Tickner feature in the fifth-match group instead. Mitchell Santner remains captain in both lists, and Randell is included for each game.
For readers following selections, these are two match-specific announcements rather than a single unchanged squad for the rest of the series. Inclusion in either list should not be confused with a starting place that has already been decided.
Fourth ODI — full squad
