New Zealand has announced its 15-member squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. Experienced Kane Williamson has been made the captain of the team, while Devon Conway, who was ruled out of the ongoing IPL 2024 due to a thumb injury, has returned to the team. This is Williamson's sixth T20 World Cup as a player and fourth T20 World Cup tournament as a captain. New Zealand head coach Gary Stead said that the team has been selected keeping in mind the different conditions between the teams during the T20 tournament starting in the first week of June.
What did coach Gary Stead say?
He said, 'I want to congratulate all the selected players. These are those special players who will be seen representing their country in the World Cup tournament. We expect the conditions in the West Indies to be quite different and challenging. We have selected our team according to those circumstances. The Kiwi team recently toured Pakistan in the absence of many senior players as the senior players are busy in the IPL. Under the captaincy of Michael Bracewell, the Kiwi team drew the five-match series 2-2 against Pakistan. One match was canceled due to rain. In such a situation, this team is looking very strong with the return of the veterans.

Conway and Allen can be given the responsibility of opening. At the same time, Williamson can come to bat at number three and Rachin at number four. Then Daryl Mitchell and Neesham are experts in hitting big shots. Bracewell, Santner, and Sodhi will be seen handling the responsibility of spin. At the same time, the responsibility of fast bowling will be in the hands of experienced Saudis, Henry and Ferguson. Daryl can play the role of the fourth pacer. The Kiwi team has selected spinners more than fast bowlers.
