MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Australia coach Darren Lehmann will miss next month's one-day series in New Zealand as he continues his recovery from deep vein thrombosis but he plans to join the team for the subsequent test matches, his country's cricket board said on Tuesday.

The 45-year-old was hospitalised with a swollen left calf on Saturday, prompting Cricket Australia (CA) to put batting coach Michael Di Venuto in charge for the three-match Twenty20 series against India starting at Adelaide on Tuesday.
