Pace bowler Scott Kuggeleijn was recalled on Sunday to replace Kyle Jamieson in New Zealand's squad for the two-Test home series against Australia.

Kuggeleijn, whose lone appearance came in a loss to England in Mount Maunganui last year, is the only addition to the 14-man squad that swept under-strength South Africa 2-0 this month.

He replaces fellow-seamer Jamieson, who faces a long stint out of cricket after suffering a back stress fracture during the Proteas series.

The series against Australia begins in Wellington on February 29 before the second Test in Christchurch.

Batsman Daryl Mitchell is retained despite a foot injury that forced him to miss the second Test against South Africa and will also rule him out of next week's three Twenty20 internationals against Australia.

New Zealand Cricket said in a statement accomplished seamer Trent Boult wasn't considered for the Test series because of his lack of recent red ball cricket.

Boult, who ditched his New Zealand central contract in 2022 to make himself available for Twenty20 domestic leagues, was named in the Black Caps squad for the T20 series against Australia.

New Zealand Test squad:

Tom Latham, Devon Conway, Kane Williamson, Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, Will Young, Tom Blundell, Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner, Matt Henry, Scott Kuggeleijn, Tim Southee (capt), Neil Wagner, Will O'Rourke.

Stoinis out of NZealand T20 series

Allrounder Marcus Stoinis was on Sunday ruled out of Australia's squad for three Twenty20 games in New Zealand this week with a sore back.

Stoinis, who missed the team's final T20 against the West Indies last week, has been replaced by fast bowler Spencer Johnson.

Wicketkeeper Matthew Wade, meanwhile, will only join the squad for the second and third games, remaining at home for the birth of his third child.

The three matches in Wellington and Auckland from February 21-25 are the last in the format for Australia before the World Cup, which is co-hosted by the United States and West Indies in June.

Australia T20 squad: Mitchell Marsh (capt), Pat Cummins, Tim David, Nathan Ellis, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Glenn Maxwell, Matt Short, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Spencer Johnson, Matthew Wade, David Warner, Adam Zampa
