WELLINGTON — Hamish Bennett has been recalled to New Zealand's squad for the first time in almost three years for the five-match Twenty20 series against India due to injuries to Trent Boult, Matt Henry and Lockie Ferguson. The 32-year-old Bennett has not played for New Zealand since a one-day international against Bangladesh in 2017. He has yet to play a Twenty20 international. Boult (hand), Henry (thumb) and Ferguson (calf) were all injured in New Zealand's 3-0 test series loss to Australia. "We're delighted to have Hamish back in the fold for what will be a huge series against India," selector Gavin Larsen said in a statement on Thursday.
