The 2024 T20 World Cup is set to start in June. Teams have started to announce their squads for the mega-event. new Zealand is one of the first teams to announce the squad. Here, we take a look at the list of two players unlucky to miss out on the New Zealand squad for the 2024 T20 World Cup. Before that, here is a look at the squad that has been selected.
New Zealand squad for the 2024 T20 World Cup: Kane Williamson (c), Finn Allen, Trent Boult, Michael Bracewell, Mark Chapman, Devon Conway, Lockie Ferguson, Matt Henry, Daryl Mitchell, Jimmy Neesham, Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra, Mitchell Santner, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee, Ben Sears (travelling reserve)
1) Tim Seifert
Tim Seifert is a player who has been doing well in recent times for the Kiwis in the white-ball format. It is actually a bit of a surprise that he has missed out on the event.
He is a player who can operate at multiple slots. Considering Finn Allen’s inconsistency and Devon Conway’s injury issues, Seifert would have been a decent backup to have.
2) Colin Munro
Colin Munro is one of the players unlucky to miss out on the New Zealand squad for the 2024 T20 World Cup. As per reports, Colin Munro was being considered for a return to the Kiwi setup. It has been a long time since he played international cricket. New Zealand coach Gary Stead confirmed that they did discuss his name while selecting the squad.
Munro started out as an opener but has made a name for himself as a good middle-order batter. He is a left-hander and offers a wealth of experience in this format. Hence, it appeared logical for the Kiwis to consider the cricketer. He had anyways been doing well for a long time at the franchise level. Hence, he is a bit unlucky in this regard.
