New Zealand Cricket has revealed a twelve-man squad for an upcoming T20I series to be played against the West Indies. The Kiwis are to mark the start of international cricket by 27th November as they are scheduled to play three T20I matches against the men in maroon.
Tim Southee will be captaining the side for the first two matches as Kane Williamson has been left out for the two-match Test series. Along with Kane, New Zealand cricket has also eliminated Trent Boult for the same reason. The two new players, Devon Conway and Kyle Jamieson have been named in the twelve-man squad for the first time and might make their debuts.
On the other hand, Colin Munro, who has been preparing for the Big Bash League (BBL), has not been considered for the international series.
