New Zealand announced their 15-member squad for the upcoming T20I tri-series against South Africa and Zimbabwe, according to the ICC.
With this, the `Black Caps` have recalled several key players who were benched in the previous series. Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra and skipper Mitchell Santner have been included in the squad for the tri-series. They were benched for the T20I series against Pakistan on home soil in March.
There is a call-up for uncapped batter Bevon Jacobs and pacer Adam Milne, while pace trio Ben Sears (side injury), Lockie Ferguson (load management) and Kyle Jamieson (family) are all sidelined, as is veteran Kane Williamson (unavailable).
