Apart from Henry and Tickner, the squad features several key players including Michael Bracewell, Mark Chapman, Tom Latham, Rachin Ravindra, and Daryl Mitchell.

Matt is an integral part of our setup and one of our most experienced fast bowlers. His return for both ODIs and Tests will strengthen our attack. After some rest, he’s fresh and fit, and we know he’s eager to make big contributions with both the white and red ball,” Walter said.
