Wellington spinner Luke Woodcock is demanding an explanation from selectors after being dumped from the Black Caps squad for the limited overs matches against Zimbabwe.

Woodcock has made way in the squad for Central District's Tarun Nethula and Ronnie Hira of the Aces.

He says he's spoken to the selectors and was told he's done nothing wrong.

Woodcock says he's none the wiser as to why he's not there.

He says it's a hard one to take because they've told him he's done nothing wrong.

The 29-year-old Woodcock has taken three wickets in his four ODIs at an average of 51.
