The hard-hitting left-hander has been in hot demand on the international twenty20 circuit.
He has played for the Delhi Daredevils in the Indian Premier League, Hampshire in England's T20 Blast, the Trinbago Knight Riders in the Caribbean Premier League and the Balkh Legends in the recent Afghanistan Premier League.
But the South African-born 31-year-old will return to international duty early tomorrow morning when the Black Caps play Pakistan in the first of three T20 matches in the United Arab Emirates.
''It is my first tour to the UAE, so it means a lot,'' Munro said.
''They're usually lower wickets here and a little bit slower.''
Munro had a tremendous international season. The audacious opener smashed 572 runs at an impressive strike rate of 182.
He also became the first man to score three international T20 centuries and climbed to No1 in the ICC T20 batting rankings.
He has certainly filled the gap Brendon McCullum left when he retired from international cricket.
Munro took that good form into the various domestic T20 tournaments he played in. He was named player of the tournament in the Caribbean Premier League, and followed that effort by helping win the Afghanistan Premier League title.
''The CPL was pretty successful in terms of my run scoring there. I tried to take that into the Afghanistan Premier League and unfortunately it wasn't as good [personally].
''But we had a well-balanced team ... so it is always nice to win tournaments.''
The Black Caps are ranked the fifth-best T20 side and will face a Pakistan side in wonderful form.
It is the No1 ranked T20 team. It just dispatched Australia 3-0 and has lost just two of its past 20 games in the format.
It also beat New Zealand 2-1 earlier this year.
''It is going to be a big challenge, especially in these conditions as well. There are a few guys coming out of the winter as well and have not played a lot of cricket.
''But they are excuses and we are going to go out there and play our brand of cricket and hopefully it is good enough on the day.''
It will be coach Gary Stead's first assignment with the national team.
He has inherited a side from Mike Hesson which is in a good place.
Munro will have to make do without regular opener Martin Guptill, though.
Guptill injured his calf earlier this month and faces up to another month on the sideline.
New Zealand A batsman Glenn Phillips is likely to be given another opportunity in Guptill's absence.
Regulars Trent Boult and Mitchell Santner are also missing.
Central Districts left-arm spinner Ajaz Patel has been added to the squad and is likely to play given the expected conditions, while Seth Rance, Adam Milne and Lockie Ferguson will battle to join Tim Southee in the seam department.
