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

Yuvraj Singh Insult MS Dhoni as He Names His All-Time XI: Yuvraj Singh, the skipper of the India Champions, picked his all-time team after the team became winners in the World Championship of Legends on Saturday, defeating Pakistan by five wickets in a thrilling final.
When selecting his starting XI, Yuvraj—who is still among the most decorated cricket players in history—made some logical choices. Among Indian hitters, players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Sachin Tendulkar made the cut.
The opening batsmen for him were Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting, with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli coming in at No. 3 and No. 4, respectively. Yuvraj selected AB de Villiers at number five, and Adam Gilchrist, the specialist wicket-keeper, at number six.

Australian spin bowling star Shane Warne was ranked No. 7 by Yuvraj, and Muttiah Muralitharan was ranked No. 8. Wasim Akram and Glenn McGrath were the bowlers at No. 9 and No. 10, respectively, while Andrew Flintoff, a former England all-rounder, was a candidate at No. 11.
In the championship game, the Yuvraj-led squad proved why they were the best by winning a close battle between two very competitive teams. After winning the toss, the Pakistani Champions chose to bat first and amassed a respectable score of 156/6 in 20 overs.

The innings was anchored by Shoaib Malik’s 41 off 36 balls, which was a notable performance. Irfan Pathan clean bowled Captain Younis Khan for seven runs, ensuring he would not leave an impression. The middle-order collapsed and Misbah-ul-Haq was retired hurt after a brisk 18, late contributions from Sohail Tanvir (19* off 9) ensured Pakistan posted a respectable score.
Indian bowlers, led by Anureet Singh who claimed three wickets with support from Vinay Kumar, Pawan Negi and Irfan Pathan (one wicket each) were instrumental in containing Pakistan’s batting lineup.

India Champions responded by deliberately beginning their run chase. Even though Ambati Rayudu lost Robin Uthappa (10) early in the innings, his brilliant fifty off thirty balls laid the groundwork for the Men in Blue’s chase.
In the same over, Suresh Raina also left cheaply for four, aiding Pakistan’s recovery. However, Rayudu and Gurkeerat Singh Maan’s (34 off 33) solid combination kept India in the game.
Rayudu and Mann also departed in a space of 10 runs but the momentum stayed firmly in India’s favour with Yusuf Pathan’s blistering 30 off 16 balls before the latter was dismissed in the penultimate over.
Yuvraj Singh’s All-Time XI:
Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, Adam Gilchrist (wk), Andre Flintoff, Shane Warne, Mutttiah Muralitharan, Glenn McGrath, Wasim Akram. Yuvraj Singh (12th man)
