Why did Ferguson not play in CT?
NZ CT squad was pathetic to say the least

Athlai
Not Terrible
He could only bowl quickly for about two overs. Has improved his fitness a lo.

Ferguson wasn't ready yet. NZ's bowling was ok that tournament anyway - the problem was just that the tail started at 5.
BeeGee
International Captain
Ferguson's improvement is very encouraging. He actually looks like a capable bowler now, rather than a one trick pony.

NZ's ODI bowling attack of Southee, Boult, Ferguson, Santner, Astle, (Munro) looks very well balanced now. Bracket Henry with Southee and Sodhi with Astle as good like-for-like replacements too. Milne perhaps an option too though underperformed lately.
It does leave the batting light from number 7 though. That was De Grandhomme's spot - do we think De Grandhomme makes it back into this side now that this bowling attack is working so well?

I like having two spinners though - seems to be working very well this season and last.
I also really want at least one good hitter at number 6 and/or 7 though. Options seem to be:
CDG - he's done ok though not amazing (and failed at the wrong time in that India ODI series)
Replace Latham with Phillips/Seifert who bats at 6 (Nicholls to 5, for now anyway). Both those guys bat top order for their domestic sides though, so finishing from 6 or 7 is a role change. I imagine that might not be too hard for them though - 6 or 7 in ODIs probably a bit like being a top order T20 batsman.
Chapman at 6, or maybe even 7 with him bowling five overs per innings.
Anderson or Neesham despite their past averageness

Everyone in Pak lineup can bat well but there's no difference between all of them
