Former captain Daniel Vettori has ruled himself out of the second test at Headingley, ensuring New Zealand will take on England with an all-pace attack from Friday.
Vettori, who shares the Kiwis' caps record of 111 with Stephen Fleming, arrived on Tuesday with the one-day squad as a possible injury replacement for spinner Bruce Martin.
But after practicing with the Kiwis, Vettori didn't believe his body could stand the rigors of a five-day match. The left-arm finger spinner hasn't played a test since July, missing the previous two test series with Achilles' and ankle injuries.
Into the side comes fast bowler Doug Bracewell, who was ruled out a day before the home series with England in March after cutting his foot while cleaning up after a party at his home.
