New Zealand has announced a 15-member squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024 on Monday, April 29, with the experienced batter Kane Williamson leading the Kiwis.
According to the International Cricket Council (ICC), it will be Williamson's sixth appearance in the T20 World Cup and fourth as the captain.
The head coach of the New Zealand team, Gray Stead, said, “I'd like to congratulate everyone named today. It’s a special time representing your country at a world tournament. We expect the venues in the West Indies to offer quite varied conditions and feel we’ve selected a squad with the scope to adapt to those conditions.”
Stead added, “Matt has worked exceptionally hard on his skills across the phases of a T20 game to come back into selection consideration. Rachin has made every post a winner in the past 12 months, and it was exciting to see him continue that trajectory over the summer in the T20 format against Australia.”
Moreover, New Zealand will play its first match of the T20 World Cup against Afghanistan on June 7 in Guyana, South America.
New Zealand Squad: Kane Williamson (C), Finn Allen, Trent Boult, Michael Bracewell, Mark Chapman, Devon Conway, Lockie Ferguson, Matt Henry, Daryl Mitchell, Jimmy Neesham, Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra, Mitchell Santner, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee. Travelling Reserve: Ben Sears
