The New Zealand cricket team has announced its provisional 15-man squad for the 2024 T20 World Cup. Captain Kane Williamson will lead the side, which includes a mix of experienced and promising players.
Rachin Ravindra and Matt Henry have been added to the squad, having not previously played in a T20 World Cup. Devon Conway was ruled out of the tournament due to an injury he sustained during the IPL, while Adam Milne is unavailable due to ankle surgery and Kyle Jamieson is recovering from a stress fracture in his lower back.
The squad also includes Ben Sears as a 16th traveling reserve. Gary Stead, coach of the team, is confident that they have all bases covered and can adapt to different conditions in the West Indies, where the tournament will be held. He expressed his satisfaction with the inclusion of players like Henry and Rachin Ravindra’s promising form in T20 cricket.
