Some as yet unsung New Zealand Cricket employee might be in line for an honorary doctorate in logistical planning after working out the Black Caps arrivals and departures for next month's limited overs tour of Ireland, Scotland and the Netherlands

24 players and six coaching staff will be used across the 11 fixtures with more potentially rotated through to the West Indies white-ball tour in August.

Otago left-arm wrist spinner Michael Rippon and Central Districts wicketkeeper-batter Dane Cleaver could make their debuts - Tim Seifert and Rachin Ravindra miss out altogether.

Selector Gavin Larsen says their planning means they can give Kane Williamson, Tim Southee, Trent Boult and Devon Conway a meaningful rest.
