Meanwhile, Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra, and captain Mitchell Santner have returned to the team. All three did not participate in the T20 International series against Pakistan as all three were busy in the IPL since March.
Talking about the team, Walter said, 'I think we have selected a very strong team for the upcoming series and my focus will be on keeping the team united and working. Our team has good experienced players and I am happy with the return of those who did not participate in the series against Pakistan due to IPL.'
