New Delhi [India], July 13 (ANI): Devon Conway, Mitch Hay, Jimmy Neesham and Tim Robinson set to join the New Zealand T20I squad for the upcoming Tri-Series against Zimbabwe and South Africa, according to the ICC website.

The triangular series will kick off on July 14 with a contest between the host Zimbabwe and South Africa, while New Zealand will feature in their first encounter on July 16 against South Africa. Each side will play the other twice before a final, which will be played on July 26.

Wicketkeeper-batter Conway replaces Finn Allen, who missed the series due to a foot injury he picked up while playing in the ongoing Major League Cricket (MLC) in the United States of America.

A recovery timeline will be put in place for Allen upon further consultation in New Zealand.

Hay, Neesham and Robinson join the squad as additional cover for Michael Bracewell, Mark Chapman, Glenn Phillips and Rachin Ravindra, who are in the Major League Cricket tournament final scheduled on Monday.

The Kiwis' head coach, Rob Walter, was disappointed that Finn Allen wouldn't be a part of the setup.

'We're really gutted for Finn, I was looking forward to working with him and to see him continue his form from the MLC, but unfortunately, injuries happen. We're lucky to be able to call on someone of Devon's quality to replace Finn,' Rob Walter said.

Tri-series fixtures:

July 14 - Zimbabwe v South AfricaJuly 16 - South Africa v New ZealandJuly 18 - Zimbabwe v New ZealandJuly 20 - Zimbabwe v South AfricaJuly 22 - New Zealand v South AfricaJuly 24 - Zimbabwe v New ZealandJuly 26 - Final. (ANI)
