New Zealand have decided to retain allrounder Scott Styris for the two-Test series starting Wednesday.

Styris was named for the Sharjah one-day tournament and the one-dayers in Pakistan. Styris missed the opening game with stomach disorder but scored 1 and took two for 53 at Rawalpindi and then went for 65 and scored 19 at Lahore.

Meanwhile, James Franklin returned home with Chris Nevin Monday evening. Opener Mark Richardson, spinner Daniel Vettori and paceman Chris Martin had bolstered the team before Saturday's last one-dayer.

Matthew Sinclair, the middle-order batsman, arrived to replace an injured Nathan Astle who went back last week. Sinclair was part of the visitors team for Sharjah series but was overlooked for the Pakistan tour.

New Zealand Test squad: Stephen Fleming (captain), Matthew Sinclair, Andre Adams, Craig McMillan, Ian Butler, Chris Harris, Robbie Hart (wicketkeeper), Matthew Horne, Chris Martin, Mark Richardson, Daryl Tuffey, Lou Vincent, Brooke Walker and Scott Styris.
