Kyle Jamieson won’t travel with the New Zealand squad for the remainder of the ODI series against Bangladesh and will have a rest before leading into the T20I series.

The decision was taken due to Jamieson's hamstring stiffness after returning from Bangladesh last week.

Blackcaps coach Gary Stead said the decision to give Jamieson the rest period was made with the broader schedule in mind.

“There’s a lot of cricket ahead of us and we want to make sure Kyle’s in the best place possible without taking any unnecessary risks.

Ben Sears, initially added as a cover for the Kiwis’ bowling unit before yesterday's game, will extend his stay with the squad for the upcoming matches in Nelson and Napier.
