Pontifex out of New Zealand international squad (?)

It looks like London Olympian starter Kyle Pontifex is out of the New Zealand squad. At least, that's what is shown on the Internet squad list! For competitions for this year at least. I'm not sure if this means Pontifex is out of the squad official given training involvement and so on previously, but could be a sign he is moving away and out of contention. He could obviously get recalled closer to Rio, but maybe it is a sign that New Zealand are looking to make use of their younger goalkeeping talent on offer. This would give them goalkeepers for the next two Olympics given their age and as neither is clearly, means there is a good level of competition to push each on to performing to their best.
