Sept 23 : New Zealand fast bowler Adam Milne and spin all-rounder Michael Bracewell have returned to a 16-member squad for next month's Twenty20 home series against India, the country's cricket board (NZC) said on Wednesday.

• New Zealand host India in five T20s, five one-day internationals (ODIs) and two tests, with the opening T20 in Christchurch on October 22.

• Thirteen members of the squad that finished runners-up to India at this year's T20 World Cup have been retained, with Bracewell and Milne returning after missing the tournament through injury.

• Rachin Ravindra, who dislocated his right shoulder during a promotional shoot last week, has been ruled out of the T20 series but is expected to return for the ODIs.
