New Zealand Names Spin-Heavy T20 World Cup Squad, Duffy Earns Maiden Call-Up

New Zealand has announced its 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka, led by Mitchell Santner. Pacer Jacob Duffy, ranked second in T20I bowling, earned his maiden World Cup call-up after a record-breaking 2025. The squad features a strong pace attack including Ferguson, Henry, and Milne, alongside multiple spin options like Ish Sodhi, Bracewell, Phillips, and Ravindra, reflecting a strategy for subcontinental conditions. Specialist batters include Allen, Conway, and Seifert, who will also keep wicket.
