New Zealand Cricket has put together a solid 15-player squad for the upcoming T20I tri-series in Zimbabwe. Adam Milne is back in the team, and Matt Henry has recovered from his injury, which had sidelined him after the ICC Champions Trophy earlier this year.
Mitchell Santner will continue as captain for the series against Zimbabwe and South Africa. It’s great to see Milne returning to international play, and Bevon Jacobs from the Auckland Aces is set to make his debut for the Black Caps. Finn Allen, fresh off a record-setting performance in the MLC, is also included, along with other T20 stars like Daryl Mitchell, Rachin Ravindra, Michael Bracewell, and Glenn Phillips.
