New Zealand have added Jacob Duffy to their squad for the upcoming ODI tri-Series in Pakistan, set to begin on February 8 in Lahore. The tri-series, which involves South Africa as well, will serve as a big platform in their preparations for the upcoming Champions Trophy.

He has been added to the squad primarily as a cover for all-rounder Lockie Ferguson, who is in UAE playing ILT20.
