New Zealand hand call-up to young batter who averages 61.73

New Zealand have handed a maiden international call-up to Rhys Mariu, who averages 61.73 in first-class cricket and is a very highly rated young batter. He will replace Will Young for the last two ODIs against Pakistan, with the former going on paternity leave. Meanwhile, Michael Bracewell will lead the Kiwis in the absence of the injured Tom Latham.
