Martin Guptill's form at the Cricket World Cup has earned him a recall to New Zealand's Test squad for their upcoming tour of England.
The 28-year-old last played for the Black Caps during the same trip back in 2013.
However, having performed better than any other batsman at the recent World Cup courtesy of a 547-run haul, Guptill has returned to the fold.
"This is a stable, established Test side but there will be opportunities for contenders," said head coach Mike Hesson.
"Martin's a classically styled batsman and there's really no reason why he can't be as influential in the longer game as he is in the short."
NZ Test squad: Brendon McCullum, Corey Anderson, Trent Boult, Doug Bracewell, Mark Craig, Martin Guptill, Matt Henry, Tom Latham, Luke Ronchi, Hamish Rutherford, Tim Southee, Ross Taylor, Neil Wagner, BJ Watling, Kane Williamson
