WELLINGTON — New Zealand will head into its first Test against England on March 6 with an new opening partnership after the recall of Peter Fulton and inclusion of the uncapped Hamish Rutherford and Tom Latham in their squad Sunday. New Zealand's opening batsmen have struggled against the England new ball attack of James Anderson and Steve Finn in the lost limited over series and the selection panel were forced to look elsewhere after a thumb injury to Martin Guptill. Left arm spinner Bruce Martin is also expected to make his debut after the 32-year-old toured South Africa late last year but did not play in the test series. Martin, who replaces the dropped Jeetan Patel in the squad, is likely to play due to an Achilles' injury to Daniel Vettori that is expected to keep him out of action until the tour of England in May. Squad: Brendon McCullum (captain), Trent Boult, Doug Bracewell, Dean Brownlie, Peter Fulton, Tom Latham, Bruce Martin, Hamish Rutherford, Tim Southee, Ross Taylor, BJ Watling, Kane Williamson. Mominul to replace Shakib Bangladesh Sunday named middle-order batsman Mominul Haque to replace Shakib Al Hasan in next month's Test series against Sri Lanka after he was ruled out due to injury. Bangladesh will play two Tests, three one-dayers and one Twenty20 during their month-long tour of Sri Lanka. Test squad: Mushfiqur Rahim (capt), Mohammad Mahmudullah, Tamim Iqbal, Shahriar Nafees, Anamul Haque, N. Islam, Nasir Hossain, Sohag Gazi, Abul Hasan, Rubel Hossain, Enamul Haque, Jahurul Islam, Mominul Hoque, Shahadat Hossain, Robiul Islam. — Agencies
