Wellington:
Bond confirmed his withdrawal from the New Zealand team on Tuesday and said he hoped to be fit for the home test and one-day series against England beginning in February.
"It's worn me down," Bond said.
"I've spent a lot of time rehabbing. There are a lot things I want to achieve and to be realistic, I can't expect cricket to keep supporting me if I am going to continue to get injured so it's frustrating."
Selection manager Sir Richard Hadlee said the 15-man squad which lost 2-1 to South Africa in a three-match limited overs series which ended on Sunday would take part in the Chappell-Hadlee matches.
