Seam bowler Brent Arnel will join the New Zealand squad for the second Test beginning in Hobart on Friday.
The Black Caps struggled in the first Test, losing by nine wickets in three-and-a-half days in Brisbane.
New Zealand coach John Wright says it is important to add bowling depth.
"Brent has been bowling well in the Plunket Shield for Northern and offers us another seam option," he said.
"The conditions in Hobart are likely to be slower so he comes into the frame."
Arnel will bring squad numbers up to the full complement of 14 players, joining the team in Brisbane on Monday before travelling with the side to Hobart for the second Test.
