New Zealand has announced its 15-man squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup. The team will be led by captain Kane Williamson, with Matt Henry and Rachin Ravindra being the only two players set to make their debut in the tournament. Devon Conway has been included in the squad after recovering from a broken thumb, while Tim Southee and Trent Boult are also part of the experienced squad.
Veterans such as Ben Sears, Adam Milne, Kyle Jamieson, and Allen Bracewell have all been named in the squad. Despite missing New Zealand’s last two T20I series, Conway is now fit to play in the World Cup. Meanwhile, Williamson missed the team’s last two series but returns to lead them once again.
Gary Stead, coach of the squad, believes that they have all bases covered and are capable of adapting to different conditions in the West Indies. He praised both Matt Henry and Rachin Ravindra for their hard work on their T20 skills and impressive performances over the past year. The team includes players who have proven themselves in this format and are ready to compete in the upcoming tournament.
The complete 2024 T20 World Cup squad consists of Kane Williamson (c), Finn Allen, Trent Boult, Michael Bracewell, Mark Chapman, Devon Conway, Lockie Ferguson, Matt Henry, Daryl Mitchell, Jimmy Neesham
