Auckland: Their 13-man squad for the one-off match in Sydney on Sunday includes the allrounders James Franklin and Nathan McCullum, the fast bowler Ian Butler and the backup wicketkeeper Peter McGlashan.

Patel, Fulton, Hopkins, Cumming, Boult and Diamanti will head home after Friday's final one-day international and will not be part of the Twenty20 setup. The chairman of selectors Glenn Turner said they had decided to bring in multi-skilled players who they felt were well suited to the shorter format.

Squad: Daniel Vettori (c), Brendon McCullum (wk), Martin Guptill, Ross Taylor, Grant Elliott, Neil Broom, Nathan McCullum, Peter McGlashan (wk), James Franklin, Kyle Mills, Tim Southee, Ian Butler, Iain O'Brien.
