Milne returns to New Zealand squad for India T20 series

Mitchell Santner will lead a 16-player squad that includes 13 World Cup runners-up and returns Adam Milne and Michael Bracewell from injury.

  • On Wednesday, Black Caps coach Walter announced a 16-member squad for the five-match T20 series against India, with Mitchell Santner as captain. "We're very fortunate with the depth that we've got to call upon, so we," Walter said.
  • Thirteen members from the T20 World Cup runner-up squad return to the lineup, including Michael Bracewell and Adam Milne, who both missed the tournament due to injuries.
  • All-Rounder Rachin Ravindra will miss the series following a shoulder dislocation at a promotional shoot last week. NZC confirmed he requires six weeks of rehabilitation.
  • Bevon Jacobs joins the squad as Ravindra's replacement. The series begins October 22 at Hagley Oval in Christchurch, marking the first meeting since the T20 World Cup final.
  • Managing the high volume of cricket in the coming months remains a priority for the team. Staff hope Ravindra recovers in time for the ODI series starting November 4 in Auckland.
