(Reuters) - Former New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori could make a surprise return to the test arena as coach Mike Hesson considers taking three spinners into the deciding clash with Pakistan in Sharjah which starts on Wednesday.

The 35-year-old Vettori, who was in the United Arab Emirates with the New Zealand 'A' side for one-day matches, trained with the test squad in Sharjah on Monday, but has not played a test since July 2012 as he has battled lingering injuries.
