With Daniel Flynn struggling to recover from a hand injury, Jamie How has been drafted into the New Zealand squad as his cover for the second Test against India starting March 26 here.

Flynn injured his left hand during a 67-run knock in the first Test, which the hosts lost by 10 wickets. He did not take the nets on Tuesday.

He got his hand scanned and no fracture was revealed but the injury is serious enough to prevent him from lifting his bat.

How, meanwhile, is likely to join the squad this evening.
