New Zealand have named their 15-player squad for this year's ICC Men's Cricket World Cup.


Kane Williamson, who was confirmed as a squad member this week after making a quicker-than-expected recovery from a ruptured ACL at the 2023 IPL set to lead the squad. 


Both Williamson and fast bowler Tim Southee have been named to appear at their fourth World Cup.


Mark Chapman has earned his spot, as well as 23-year-old spin-bowling all-rounder Rachin Ravindra, who claimed 3/48 against England in the first of four ODIs on Friday.

There was no position in the squad for youthful top-order batter Finn Allen or back-up wicket-keeper Tim Seifert, with Tom Latham serving as the sole wicket-keeper.

Adam Milne, who had a hamstring injury during New Zealand's recent tour of England, has also been ruled out.


New Zealand coach Gary Stead admitted he faced some tough decisions when deciding on the final squad, but believes he has got the right mix of youth and experience to take to India.


“It’s always a special time to name a tournament team and I’d like to congratulate the 15 players selected today. It’s a great honour to represent your country at a World Cup. From Kane and Tim heading to their fourth tournament to the guys selected for the first time it’s always a very exciting time,” Stead said.


“As with any squad named for an ICC tournament, there have been some tough calls and there will be some disappointed players. The key for us was finding the right balance for the squad and making sure we had our bases covered for what is going to be a very competitive tournament.” he added.



The side meet England and Bangladesh in ODIs before taking on England again in a rematch of the 2019 Final in the World Cup opener on 5 October.
