Cleaver, who is the cousin of captain Kane Williamson, was picked in the T20I squad earlier in March for the one-off game against Netherlands that was eventually washed out.
New Zealand, who have already conceded the three-match Test series 2-0, have been severely hit by both injuries and COVID-19 spike in the camp.
