New Zealand cricket announces a 15 -member squad for the five -match T20 International series against Pakistan, which is underway at Christ Church on Sunday.
New Zealand cricket said Michael Breswell will serve as New Zealand captain because regular captain Mitchell Sentner will not be available, while Ken Williamson was not considered for the election after making himself available.
Ash Sodhi, Finn Allen, Jimmy Nashim and Tim Saffert have also been withdrawn.
New Zealand Cricket said, “Kyle Jameson and Will Overk have been added to the first three games of the series, as the selectors try to handle the burden of fast bores returning from the Champions Trophy.”
Matt Henry, who won as the top wicketkeeper of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, has been selected for the last two games.
Last April, Breswell led the Black Caps on a white ball tour of Pakistan, and said he enjoyed the team’s challenge.
“It is a great honor and a real honor to captain our country. Michael Bresville said,” I really enjoyed leading the team in Pakistan last year and we also have many players from this squad who include this series, which is a good thing. “
“Mach Sentner has done a great job after taking over as the Whiteball captain, and I will actually try to create a pleasant atmosphere to prepare his good work and to perform the boys.”
“Pakistan is always a dangerous short farm with a lot of power and speed, and we know that they will be hurting after getting out of the Champions Trophy.
