Devon Conway has been included in New Zealand's provisional 15-man squad for the 2024 T20 World Cup, with Kane Williamson named as captain. The experienced squad also features veterans Tim Southee and Trent Boult, while Rachin Ravindra and Matt Henry are the only uncapped players.
Conway's inclusion comes after he was ruled out of the IPL due to a thumb injury. Williamson, meanwhile, returns to lead the side after missing New Zealand's last two T20I series.
Fast bowler Adam Milne was ruled out after ankle surgery, while Kyle Jamieson remains unavailable due to a stress fracture in his lower back. Finn Allen has recovered from a back injury, while Michael Bracewell, Mark Chapman, James Neesham, and Ish Sodhi are the only players from the Pakistan tour who have made the squad.
New Zealand coach Gary Stead believes the squad has all bases covered. "We expect varied conditions in the West Indies and have selected a squad that can adapt," he said. "Matt Henry has worked hard to earn his recall, while Rachin Ravindra has impressed in recent months."
