New Zealand Announced Squad for T20 World Cup, Kane Williamson will lead the team

New Zealand Announced Squad for T20 World Cup 2024, Kane Williamson will lead the team: Recently, New Zealand Cricket released their team for the 2024 T20 World Cup, which is scheduled to take place in the USA and the West Indies.

Starting on June 2, some of the top cricket teams in the globe will compete for the crown in this high-profile competition.

Veteran hitter Kane Williamson was named the Black Caps’ tournament captain when the team was unveiled, despite the fact that he would be heading an underexperienced group.

It’s interesting to note that two “special kids,” Matilda and Angus, took center stage to reveal the squad in a kind manner rather than the customary selection committee.

In the competition, New Zealand will field talents like as Finn Allen, Michael Bracewell, Rachin Ravindra, Mark Chapman, Matt Henry, and several others.

Kane Williamson will be competing in his sixth T20 World Cup and his fourth event as captain.

Only Tim Southee in the squad has more experience than Williamson. And both veterans will aim to lead from the front and hopefully propel the Black Caps to a historic win.

Gary Stead, the head coach of New Zealand, congratulated all of the players who were selected for the T20 World Cup 2024 roster when it was announced. He even gave special recognition to players who had been picked, such as Matt Henry and Rachin Ravindra.

“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,” Gary Stead was quoted as saying by NZC.

“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,” he added.

New Zealand ICC T20 World Cup 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
