Finn Allen is back with the squad. Get him straight back into the batting lineup instead of one of the quicks. I see from Google that he can even bowl occasional right arm
piesoff spin, which will probably be more effective than the pacemen on Bangladeshi pitches anyway.
Blackcaps v Bangladesh: Swashbuckling batsman Finn Allen out of COVID-19 isolation, rejoins teammates | Newshub
The international rookie tested positive for the coronavirus on arrival in Bangladesh.
Righto, one wicket in all formats, ever. Still Doug Bracewell is an all rounder despite never getting a 50 so anything is possible I guess.
In all seriousness I wondered last night whether any of the quicks might try a Colin Miller, given the match situation. One of those pitches where 'the slower the better'.

@rapido 100% agree with this. From the squad selection, it looks like Worker wasn't even considered, yet he was one of the top batters in the Super Smash and his part time spin bowling would probably be more useful than one of the 7 fast-medium bowlers.
Allen can't play so instead of bringing over another batter, they bring the exact opposite of what you need in Bangladesh, another fast-medium bowler.
I thought they couldn't bring Worker because they didn't have an MIQ spot for him? We know this isn't the ideal squad but you are restricted with what you can do in the time of COVID. Ravindra is there doing the worker role.

NZC has a rule that you can't do three overseas tours in a row. They will be going to WC and on the India tour so have to skip Bangladesh and Pakistan.

It makes zero sense that Sommerville is not there though, even Rippon was probably worth taking over one the 6/7 seamers.
Somerville was who I was thinking of
Ah, I thought you mean Santner.

He is actually our best white ball spinner so if he could have him there that would have been much better.

Even Mitch could probably spin it on this deck
