The 15-man team for the T20 World Cup 2024 was revealed by the New Zealand Cricket Board (NZC) two days before to the deadline stipulated by the International Cricket Council (ICC). The Kiwis selected an all-star squad that included players such as Fin Allen, Trent Boult, Devon Conway, Daryl Mitchell, and others, with Kane Williamson leading the way. The cricket community has been waiting a long time for this selection, but what shocked the cricket and social media community was how the news was made.
The New Zealand Cricket Board revealed in a social media video that they sent two kids to the press conference when the selection was announced. Both a girl called Matilda and a guy named Angus listed every player selected for the T20 World Cup.
'Let me start by congratulating everyone who was named today. 'It's an incredible experience to represent your nation at a global competition,' New Zealand head coach Gary Stead remarked on the occasion.
'We expect the venues in the West Indies to offer quite varied conditions and feel we've selected a squad with the scope to adapt to those conditions.'
'Matt has worked exceptionally hard on his skills across the phases of a T20 game to come back into selection consideration,' Stead said.
For the first time, Rachin Ravindra, who has stunned everyone with his skills even early in his international career, will play for the Kiwis in a T20 World Cup.
'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.'
