Canterbury all-rounder Daryl Mitchell and Auckland batsman Glenn Phillips have received first-time Black Caps contracts following breakout seasons in the international game.
The duo are the newcomers on the list of 20 players to be offered contracts.
Mitchell made his debut in one-day cricket against Bangladesh in March and achieved a maiden ODI century one match later with a pulsating unbeaten 100 in Wellington.
WELLINGTON: Most New Zealand players, coaches and support staff who were involved in the suspended Indian Premier League (IPL) will return home on a charter flight on Friday.
New Zealand Cricket (NZC) said national captain Kane Williamson, Black Caps team-mates Kyle Jamieson and Mitchell Santner and team physiotherapist Tommy Simsek will remain in a secure bubble in the Indian capital Delhi before flying to London on May 11. An exemption to travel to England could not be obtained before that date.
New Zealand-based members of the New Zealand squad will fly to England on May 16 and 17 for a two-Test series and to play India in the final of World Test Championship. They will be joined by Williamson, Jamieson, Santner and Simsek once their isolation is completed.
