New Delhi, Jan. 30 -- New Zealand has added Ben Sears as a travelling reserve to boost their fast bowling stocks for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup.

Sears will join up with the Black Caps before the 20-over showcase in India and Sri Lanka that commences on February 7, following the injury to fellow quick Adam Milne last week, as per the ICC website.

Sears will join the squad before New Zealand's warm-up fixture against the USA on February 5, with the Black Caps' opening match at the T20 World Cup against Afghanistan on February 8.

Milne's withdrawal saw Kyle Jamieson join the main squad of 15, with Sears added to the playing group as a travelling reserve for the upcoming tournament.

Sears has been in good form for Wellington in New Zeala...
