Guptill returns to NZ squad against Bangladesh

Sports Desk: Colin Munro has been dropped from the New Zealand squad for the first two ODIs against Bangladesh. The 31-year-old opener will come in as a replacement for Kane Williamson in the third ODI, when the New Zealand captain will take a "pre-planned rest"; Tom Latham will then fill in as the captain.

Munro, who was in indifferent form against India across the ODIs and T20Is, was dropped for the fourth ODI in Hamilton, before he had to come back to fill in for injured Martin Guptill at the top in the fifth ODI.

Guptill, who's also missed all of the T20I series against India after aggravating a disc in his lower back, has recovered enough to be named in the 14-man squad but his participation is subject to he passing the fitness test. He will be partnered by Henry Nicholls at the top.

New Zealand Squad: Kane Williamson (c) (Games 1 & 2), Todd Astle, Trent Boult, Colin de Grandhomme, Lockie Ferguson, Martin Guptill, Matt Henry, Tom Latham, Colin Munro (Game 3), Jimmy Neesham, Henry Nicholls, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Ross Taylor
