New Zealand Team for ICC World Cup 2023: Complete Squad, Captain, Coaches and Match Schedule

ICC World Cup 2023 New Zealand Team and Players: Cricket is one of the most-watched sports in the world and is particularly beloved in nations which were former colonies of Britain, where it originated. New Zealand is one such country.

New Zealand is a high-ranking cricket team and finished as runner-up in the last two seasons of the World Cup in 2019 and 2015. New Zealand is a dominant and highly skilled team that delivers exciting action in every game.

The team consists of several big-name fast bowlers, explosive strikers and all-rounders. After two consecutive heartbreaks, New Zealand will look to claim the ICC World Cup Trophy this year. It’s the most prestigious cricket tournament in the world and only takes place every four years.

New Zealand is among the favourites to win the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup, but the odds are stacked against them this time.

India is hosting the 2023 Cricket World Cup and tends to perform well on home soil. Pakistan and Australia too have performed well in their recent ODI games. But all eyes will be on New Zealand as it opens the World Cup, playing against defending champion England.

Only a month is left until the World Cup begins, and teams have begun to announce their 15-player squads before the last date of September 28. Kane Williamson was already confirmed for the New Zealand squad and the complete players list was finalised on September 11.

Latest Updates: Kyle Jamieson was called to Bengaluru ahead of New Zealand vs Pakistan game on November 4 as a cover for the injured bowlers Matt Henry and Lockie Ferguson.

Due to a grade two tear in his right hamstring, Matt Henry was ruled out of the 2023 World Cup and replaced by Kyle Jamieson.

Kane Williamson remains in doubt due to a thumb fracture. However, he was seen practising in the nets.

New Zealand Coach Gary Stead said in a statement: 

“It’s always a special time to name a tournament team and I’d like to congratulate the 15 players selected today. It’s a great honour to represent your country at a World Cup. From Kane and Tim heading to their fourth tournament to the guys selected for the first time, it’s always a very exciting time. As with any squad named for an ICC tournament, there have been some tough calls and there will be some disappointed players. The key for us was finding the right balance for the squad and making sure we had our bases covered for what is going to be a very competitive tournament.”
