Blair Tickner will join the T20 squad in Wellington for the final three matches, while fellow Central Stag Josh Clarkson is set to join in Auckland for the last two.
Matt Fisher will travel to Wellington as cover for the third T20 only, then return to the New Zealand A squad at Lincoln University on Wednesday.
“We’re very fortunate with the depth in the squad to be able to call upon different players to help manage our pacers workloads, and to try and ensure they’re best placed to perform for the team for all the cricket coming up," Blackcaps head coach Rob Walter said in a statement.
The Blackcaps trail India 2-0 in the T20 series, with a five-match ODI series and two-match Test series to follow ahead of their four-match Test tour of Australia through December and January.
