New Zealand have made more squad changes on Monday for their next two one-day internationals against India, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said.

Fast bowler Blair Tickner, 33, was struck by a ball while batting in the second ODI in Wellington on Saturday and will miss the next two matches.

Kristian Clarke has been added to the squad for those two games as cover for the injured quick.

Matt Henry will miss Tuesday's match in Hamilton as he recovers from a knock he received from teammate Devon Conway at training.

Lockie Ferguson will be sidelined for the rest of the series because of a quad problem.

Tom Latham, Daryl Mitchell, Henry Nicholls, Glenn Phillips and Nathan Smith will leave Hamilton on Wednesday and be unavailable for the final ODI.

The five players are beginning preparations for the ICC World Test Championship series against India, the ICC said.

New Zealand are yet to name their squad for the fifth and final match of the series.

India lead the five-match ODI series 2-0 before the third fixture in Hamilton on Tuesday.

India won the first match in Auckland on Nov. 4 by five wickets under the DLS method, and the second in Wellington on Nov. 7 by four runs under the same method.

The fourth ODI is scheduled for Nov. 13 at Mount Maunganui.
