Off-spinner Jeetan Patel has been selected in New Zealand's squad for the third One-Day International against Bangladesh, scheduled to be played in Nelson on Saturday.
The 36-year-old last played an ODI in 2009 and has been included due to the slow nature of the Saxton Oval pitch and the number of left-handers in the Tigers' batting line-up, coach Mike Hesson said.
"With the slow nature of the Saxton Oval surface and the number of left handers in the Bangladesh line-up, we feel Jeetan will be a good option to have for the final game.
