Hart replaces Parore in NZ side
Northern Districts wicketkeeper Robbie Hart has replaced Adam Parore in the New Zealand side to tour Pakistan this month.
Parore, 31, will retire after the third Test against England at Eden Park which finishes on Wednesday. Hart, 27, is the brother of former New Zealand left-arm spinner Matthew.
"Robbie Hart has been a reliable tradesman with the gloves over the last few years and has been in good form with the bat for Northern Districts this summer," chairman of selectors Richard Hadlee said on Monday.
One-day specialist Chris Harris, who scored an unbeaten half-century on the first day of the third Test, retains his place.
New Zealand will tour without their front-line pace attack of Chris Cairns, Shane Bond, Dion Nash and Shayne O'Connor who are all injured. Left-arm spinner Daniel Vettori has been selected subject to a fitness Test.
New Zealand - Stephen Fleming (captain), Andre Adams, Nathan Astle, Ian Butler, Chris Harris, Robbie Hart, Matt Horne, Chris Martin, Craig McMillan, Mark Richardson, Daryl Tuffey, Daniel Vettori, Lou Vincent, Brooke Walker.
