New Zealand has announced its provisional 15-man squad for the 2024 T20 World Cup, with Kane Williamson leading the team. Ben Sears has been named as the 16th traveling reserve in the squad, which also includes experienced players like Tim Southee and Trent Boult. The squad features Rachin Ravindra and Matt Henry, who have not previously played in a T20 World Cup.
Devon Conway was ruled out of the IPL due to a thumb injury he sustained in February, but he is now back and included in the squad as a reserve. Adam Milne is unavailable due to ankle surgery, while Kyle Jamieson continues his recovery from a stress fracture in his lower back. Gary Stead, coach of the team, expressed his satisfaction with the inclusion of players like Henry and Rachin Ravindra’s promising form in the T20 format.
