Mills and Mason drafted in for third Test

Kyle Mills has been included in New Zealand's squad for the third Test against South Africa, which starts at Wellington on March 26. Mills replaces Daryl Tuffey, who was forced to pull out due to a bruise on his left upper thigh. New Zealand also brought in Michael Mason in the 12-man squad, while Ian Butler was not considered because of a side strain he sustained when playing for the A team against Sri Lanka A. With the pitch expected to assist seamers, New Zealand's selectors chose not to include a second spinner in their line-up.

Squad
Stephen Fleming (capt), Mark Richardson, Michael Papps, Scott Styris, Craig McMillan, Chris Cairns, Jacob Oram, Brendon McCullum (wk), Daniel Vettori, Kyle Mills, Chris Martin, Michael Mason.
