New Zealand Cricket (NZC) has named New Zealand’s 14-player squad for the upcoming three-match T20I series against England at home. In a major development, captain Mitchell Santner and batting all-rounder Rachin Ravindra will be making their returns to New Zealand’s T20I setup after missing their recent home series against Trans-Tasman rivals Australia.

Players like Finn Allen, Adam Milne, Will O’Rourke, Glenn Phillips and Lockie Ferguson all missed out in making a cut into the team owing to their respective injuries.

White-ball captain Mitchell Santner and all-rounder Rachin Ravindra are all set to make their T20I returns in the upcoming three-match series against England. Ravindra was recently ruled out of action from New Zealand’s home series against Australia owing to a face injury.

Captain Santner has also recovered from his recent abdominal surgery and is set to lead New Zealand in their next T20I venture, after fellow all-rounder Michael Bracewell stepped in as ‘Black Caps’ skipper against Australia earlier this month.

Senior man Kane Williamson will miss the T20I series, and he will likely be making his international return in the ODI segment later this month. Players like Ben Sears, Finn Allen, Adam Milne, Will O’Rourke, Glenn Phillips and Lockie Ferguson will miss out as they are yet to recover from their respective injuries.

The New Zealand team comprises of wicketkeeper-batter Tim Seifert, all-rounder Jimmy Neesham, and star batters like Devon Conway and Mark Chapman among others. Here is a look at the entire New Zealand squad for the T20I series against England.

New Zealand T20I squad for England series:

Mitchell Santner (c), Michael Bracewell, Mark Chapman, Devon Conway, Jacob Duffy, Zak Foulkes, Matt Henry, Bevon Jacobs, Kyle Jamieson, Daryl Mitchell, Jimmy Neesham, Rachin Ravindra, Tim Robinson and Tim Seifert (wk).

The T20I series between New Zealand and England will be played between October 18 and October 23. While the Hagley Oval in Christchurch will host the first two T20Is, the final match will be staged at Eden Park in Auckland.
