New Zealand pacer Brett Randell earned his maiden international call up as he was included in the squad for the fourth and fifth ODIs against India to be played at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui.

The 31-year-old has 145 professional appearances, including five for the New Zealand A. He recently returned from a County Championship stint with Derbyshire.

Randell is also likely to make his debut in one of the remaining games.

All-rounder Josh Clarkson was also included in the squad.

“There’s been a few movements throughout the series so we’re fortunate to be able to bring in Brett and Josh,” New Zealand head coach Rob Walter said.

There’s also shuffling of the coaching staff with Northern Districts pathway coach Mitch Renwick and S&C coach Corey Mileys joined Walter and Martill Guptill for the ODIs.

Bowling coach Jacob Oram, batting coach Luke Ronchi, and S&C coach Chris Donaldson have left for Wellington for Test preparations.

India currently leads the five-match series 2-0 after no result was possible due to rain in the third ODI. The two-match Test series will start on November 19.
