T20 World Cup: Williamson To Lead As NZ Name Experienced 15-man Squad
ICC T20 World Cup: Kane Williamson has been named captain as New Zealand announced an experienced 15-man squad for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, starting from June 1 in the USA and the West Indies.
This is Williamson’s sixth appearance in a T20 World Cup and his fourth tournament as captain. Tim Southee, currently sits as the leading wicket-taker in the history of T20Is, earned a selection in his seventh T20 World Cup.
Moreover, pacer Trent Boult is set for his fifth T20 World Cup. Devon Conway, who is currently recovering from a thumb injury, has also been picked in the squad.
Pace bowler Ben Sears will travel and train with the team as injury cover.
Bowler Matt Henry and batting all-rounder Rachin Ravindra are the only two members of the 15 without ICC T20 World Cup experience.
"Matt has worked exceptionally hard on his skills across the phases of a T20 game to come back into selection consideration. Rachin has made every post a winner in the past 12 months and it was exciting to see him continue that trajectory over the summer in the T20 format against Australia," said coach head Gary Stead.
New Zealand will leave for the tournament on May 23. They open their campaign against Afghanistan in Guyana on June 7.
New Zealand Squad: Kane Williamson (C), Finn Allen, Trent Boult, Michael Bracewell, Mark Chapman, Devon Conway, Lockie Ferguson, Matt Henry, Daryl Mitchell, Jimmy Neesham, Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra, Mitchell Santner, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee. Travelling Reserve: Ben Sears

From Dublin to Lord's: The making of Eoin Morgan
1. Back where it all began for Ireland
Born in Dublin in 1986, Morgan was a standout for Ireland at the 2004 Under 19 Cricket World Cup as he scored 268 runs at an average of 38 and he backed that up at the 2006 event when he finished as the second leading run-scorer overall (338 runs) behind India star Cheteshwar Pujara.
Morgan failed to back that up at the 2007 World Cup in West Indies as he managed just 91 runs from nine hits while batting at No.3 for an Ireland side that managed to qualify for the Super Eights part of the tournament.
The left-hander was performing well at County level for Middlesex and a switch to play for England was always on the cards as Morgan changed allegiances in 2009 after helping Ireland qualify for the 2011 World Cup.
2. That winning feeling at the 2010 T20 World Cup
Morgan's first major tournament for England came at the 2010 T20 World Cup once again in the West Indies and it was a successful one for both him from an individual perspective and from his team's point of view.
A quickfire half-century against West Indies helped England make a winning start to the tournament and Morgan then scored a well-compiled 45 against the Irish as England booked their place in the Super Eights stage.
Kevin Pietersen was the star of the show from that point on, but Morgan's 183 runs at an average of 36.6 played a major part in helping England claim the title.
Morgan was becoming a mainstay in England's white-ball sides and was promoted to captain following the departure of Alastair Cook just two months prior to the 2015 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
3. Shaky start as skipper at 2015 World Cup
Morgan's first major tournament as skipper was not a memorable one as England won just two matches and failed to make it out of the group stage of the 2015 World Cup.
It started terribly for Morgan, who was bamboozled by Mitch Marsh to be dismissed without scoring in England’s opening match of the tournament and things didn't get much better from that point on.
Morgan did manage 46 against Scotland in Christchurch, but another duck in England's crucial match against Bangladesh in Adelaide meant he finished the tournament with just 90 runs from five innings.
The new England white-ball captain found form later that year during the home series against New Zealand and Australia and continued to perform well in the lead-up to the 50-over World Cup on home soil in 2019.
4. Morgan the record-breaker stands up when needed at 2019 World Cup
The pressure was on England to perform well at home and Morgan knew he needed to step up with the bat.
He played a part with a steady half-century in England's opening match of the tournament against South Africa at The Oval, but it wasn't until their clash against Afghanistan at Old Trafford that the skipper stood out.
Morgan played the innings of his life as he broke a handful of records in amassing a superb 148 from just 71 deliveries.
His knock included 17 sixes - the most by any player in an ODI innings - while his century came from just 57 balls, the fastest by an England batter in a World Cup match.
Morgan didn't take pity on any of Afghanistan's bowlers, with champion spinner Rashid Khan not escaping his wrath as he conceded a whopping 110 runs from nine overs.
The innings set the scene for England and helped them on their way to what lay ahead in the thrilling World Cup final against New Zealand at Lord's
5. Achieving the ultimate at the 2019 World Cup
Morgan may have failed with the bat in the epic World Cup title decider in 2019 - he scored just nine runs before Lockie Ferguson pulled in one of the best outfield catches of all time - but the England skipper played a pivotal role in the tactics that brought about their historic triumph.
After a thrilling 50-over match finished in a tie, Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler were entrusted to open the batting for England as the hosts put on a respectable score of 15 from their Super Over.
It was then left to Jofra Archer to defend that total with the ball and the inexperienced quick held his nerve to ensure the Kiwis failed to surpass the victory target and England were crowned World Cup winners by the virtue of hitting the most boundaries during the match.
Morgan was understandably emotional after the clash after he became the first person to lead England to a 50-over World Cup crown.
"This has been a four-year journey, we've developed a lot over those years, particularly the last two," he said after the nail-biting triumph.
It proved the pinnacle in what was an outstanding career for Morgan, who stepped down as England skipper and announced his retirement from the game on28 June in 2022 and almost 16 years after it all began as a teenager for Ireland against Scotland in Ayr.

The bowling attack of Pakistan
Pakistan's bowling prowess spearheaded by the fiery Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf is all geared up to give New Zealand's top batting lineup a solid challenge. How they excel at delivering slower balls during the crucial death overs and the crafty left arm spin of Mohammad Nawaz could play a defining role in breaking key partnerships.
New Zealand's Striking Ability
New Zealand boasts a formidable batting lineup anchored by seasoned campaigners such as Martin Guptill Kane Williamson and Glenn Phillips. The teams prowess in efficiently rotating the strike and capitalizing on loose deliveries will play a pivotal role in their pursuit of challenging substantial targets.
Home Advantage of Pakistan

Prediction
It's hard to call this contest. With their respective advantages and disadvantages, the two teams are evenly matched. Here are two scenarios that could occur:
Scenario 1: India Triumphs
Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan orchestrated a remarkable opening partnership showcasing their synergy and cricketing prowess. Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf unleashed havoc on New Zealands top order establishing early dominance for Pakistan. Mohammad Nawazs spin expertise in the pivotal middle overs played a pivotal role in steering Pakistan towards a triumphant victory.
Scenario 2: New Zealand Wins
Following a promising start by Pakistan's opening batsmen their middle order encountered difficulties restricting them to a modest total. In reply New Zealand's opening pair comprised of Martin Guptill and Kane Williamson established a strong platform.
The late innings contribution of Glenn Phillips injected excitement driving New Zealand to a thrilling victory by a narrow margin securing a 21 advantage in the series.
Who is going to prevail?
The team that handles pressure expertly and minimizes errors is positioned for success in this riveting edge of your seat clash to be decided solely by the final delivery.
