WELLINGTON (Reuters) - All-rounder Corey Anderson has been ruled out of New Zealand's tour of Australia with a back injury and been replaced by Mitchell Santner, the team said on Monday.

The 24-year-old Anderson suffered the injury on New Zealand's tour of England and had not recovered sufficiently to shoulder a bowling workload, selector Gavin Larsen said in a statement.
