The squad also includes two wicket-keepers, Tom Latham and Glenn Phillips. Latham is the incumbent wicket-keeper, but Phillips is also a capable batsman who can provide depth in the batting order.
New Zealand will be looking to go one better than their 2019 World Cup final appearance, when they lost to England in the final. They will be a strong contender for the title, with a balanced squad that has a good mix of experience and youth.
