Neil Wagner, the left-arm quick, has been added to the New Zealand squad for the first Test against England in Dunedin after impressing in the tour match in Queenstown.
Wagner claimed six wickets in the match and produced some lively spells in the second innings to trouble England's top order.
New Zealand could yet decide to field an all-pace attack in the first Test which would mean Wagner, who has three caps, lining up alongside Tim Southee, Trent Boult and Doug Bracewell. However, if they opt to give a debut to left-arm spinner Bruce Martin, Wagner could find himself carrying the drinks.
Wagner, who was born in South Africa, has taken five wickets in the early stages of his Test career but has had a productive domestic season with 30 wickets at 25.43.
