Left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner was on Tuesday recalled to the Test squad after more than two years as New Zealand selectors picked a spin-heavy side for the two-match series in Bangladesh, beginning later this month.
Santner, who played the last of his 24 Tests against England at Lord's in June 2021, joins Ajaz Patel and Ish Sodhi as the front-line spinners.
Off-spinning all-rounders Rachin Ravindra and Glenn Phillips also returned to boost their spin options on the back of impressive performances at the ongoing World Cup in India.
