"New Zealand's 15 member squad for the T20 World Cup features changes from the squad that will face India ahead of the tournament"

Jacob Duffy earns his first T20 World Cup nod in New Zealand's 15-man squad for next month's ICC event, capping a dream 2025 with 81 international wickets. Mitchell Santner captains an experienced unit primed for glory.

The prolific pacer joins a fiery attack: Lockie Ferguson, Matt Henry, Adam Milne, with James Neesham as fifth seamer. Spinners Santner and Ish Sodhiโ€”veteran of the 2016 edition in Indiaโ€”lead the twirlymen. Kyle Jamieson travels as reserve.

Explosive Batting Line-Up

Top order packs punch: opener Finn Allen, keeper Tim Seifert, Devon Conway, Mark Chapman, Glenn Phillips, and Rachin Ravindra. Tim Robinson, Bevon Jacobs, and Zakary Foulkes miss out.

For Indian fans glued to T20 World Cup fever, this Kiwi squad screams dangerโ€”Allen's carnage, Conway's solidity, Ravindra's flair. Duffy's breakthrough year mirrors underdog tales we love, like Jasprit Bumrah's rise. Black Caps eye a deep run, testing Team India in potential clashes. Squad balance screams intent: pace depth, spin nous, batting fireworks.
