The T20 World Cup is playing in the world cricket. As time progresses, the frenzy of twenty overs is getting closer. The teams are also preparing themselves. New Zealand announced the team ahead of the World Cup. As usual, experienced Kane Williamson is in charge of the team.

Today, Sunday (April 29), New Zealand Cricket announced a 15-member team with Williamson as the captain. The Kiwi selectors are trusting the experienced team. Only pacer Matt Henry and all-rounder Rachin Ravindra in the 15-member team have yet to play T20 World Cup.

New Zealand coach Gary Steed also said about Henry and Ravindra, who went to play for the first time in T-20 World Cup, ‘has worked hard on his skills in T-20 matches to be considered for the team. And everything Rachin has been doing in the last 12 months, everything has been fine.’

Congratulating and wishing everyone the best of luck to the World Cup, Gary Steed also said, ‘My congratulations to all those who have been named today. It’s special to be able to represent your country in a global tournament.’

All 13 of the announced squad were in the West Indies tour squad in 2022. Pace bowler Ben Sears will go as a reserve with the 15-member team. He is being flown to the West Indies and the United States to cover injuries.

The big surprise of the team is to make Williamson the captain. Williamson was out of the New Zealand T20 team for the past few days due to injury and rest. Finally, the Kiwi captain has played in only two of the 35 T20 matches. This is Williamson’s sixth T20 World Cup and fourth as captain.

New Zealand Team: Kane Williamson (captain), 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.

Reserve: Ben Sears.
