Central wicketkeeper Dane Cleaver is the other possible debutant.... he was selected for the T20 against the Netherlands earlier this year but that match was subsequently abandoned because of the weather.
Tom Latham will captain the ODI series first up against Ireland starting in Dublin on July 10, before he returns home to New Zealand along with Henry Nicholls, Matt Henry, Will Young and Jacob Duffy.
In line with New Zealand Cricket's commitment to player and staff wellbeing, Kane Williamson, Trent Boult, Tim Southee and Devon Conway will return to New Zealand following the England Test series, with the white-ball tour to West Indies in August their next likely assignment ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup in Australia in October.
Rippon has been selected as part of a 15-player squad for the following three-game T20 series against Ireland in Belfast, two T20s and an ODI against Scotland in Edinburgh, as well as two T20s against the Netherlands in Amsterdam on August 4 and 5.
Rippon's left-arm wrist-spin is a rarity on the New Zealand professional cricket scene and he's understood to be the first specialist bowler of his variety ever selected for the national side.
30 year old Rippon, who is Dutch passport holder already has 31 international caps to his name for the Netherlands and recently played against the Black Caps in three ODIs at Bay Oval and Seddon Park in March.
ICC eligibility rules allow players to represent an Affiliate or Associate nation while still remaining available for a Full Member nation.
However, once they have been listed on an international match team-sheet for a Full Member nation they cannot return to play for the Affiliate or Associate for three years.
Joining Rippon in the spin department is the familiar duo of Santner and Ish Sodhi, along with impressive all-rounder Michael Bracewell - who could be in line to make his T20I debut after successful starts to his ODI and Test career.

Cleaver's inclusion for both squads means there is no room for incumbent T20 keeper Tim Seifert.
Northern Districts all-rounder Mitchell Santner will take over the captaincy from Tom Latham following the opening ODI series against Ireland.
Shane Jurgensen will head up the coaching team for the Ireland leg of the tour with support from Luke Ronchi and former England international Luke Wright, allowing regular head coach Gary Stead a short break.
Jurgensen and Ronchi will depart for home post Ireland, with Stead returning as head coach to be joined by Graeme Aldridge (bowling), Dean Brownlie (batting) and Wright (fourth coach) for the Scotland, Netherlands and West Indies series.
