He missed the first match of New Zealand's five-match one-day international series against in India earlier this month with the same injury. New Zealand went on to lose the series 5-0, extending its losing streak in ODIs to 11 matches.
Vettori said he hoped to be fit for the first Test against Pakistan which starts in Hamilton on Jan. 7.
