New Zealand has announced its squad for the ICC T20 World Cup 2026, scheduled for February in India and Sri Lanka. Led by Mitchell Santner, the team emphasizes spin bowling, with Santner and Ish Sodhi headlining the attack, supported by all-rounders Rachin Ravindra, Glenn Phillips, and Michael Bracewell. Fast bowler Jacob Duffy earns a T20 World Cup debut after a strong 2025 season, joining Lockie Ferguson, Matt Henry, and Adam Milne in the pace attack. The selection aims for balance and flexibility, considering subcontinent conditions and lessons from the 2024 tournament.
