Nov 2 (Reuters) - Rachin ⁠Ravindra and Mark Chapman will miss New ⁠Zealand's one-day international series against India this month ‌as they continue to recuperate from shoulder and hamstring injuries respectively, the team said on Monday.

• All-rounder Ravindra's right shoulder ​requires more recovery time before ⁠he is able to ⁠field at full capacity, the team said in a ⁠statement

• ‌Batter Chapman underwent an MRI scan which showed his left hamstring required another ⁠two weeks of rehabilitation before he is fit ​to return

• ‌Tim Seifert, who had been selected for the ⁠fourth ​and fifth ODIs only, will now be in the squad for the full series, while Henry Nicholls will ⁠come in for the first ​three games and Dean Foxcroft for the last two

• Seamer Matt Henry, who suffered a muscle tear during ⁠the Twenty20 series against India, will join the squad on Monday and be assessed on his readiness to play

• The series starts in Auckland on ​Wednesday with further matches in ⁠Wellington and Hamilton before the last two games in ​Tauranga

• India, who won the ‌T20 series 3-2, will also ​play two tests against the Black Caps
