New Zealand have announced a 14-member squad for the three-match T20I series against Australia in the first week of October. Skipper Mitchell Santner has been ruled out of it due to an abdominal issue, for which he recently underwent surgery, and is now targeting a return in England\u2019s white-ball tour later in the month.<\/p>\n

Michael Bracewell will lead the Blackcaps in Santner\u2019s absence. He has previously led on 10 occasions, registering six wins, three losses, and a no-result. His experience includes a 4-1 victory over Pakistan in March.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Chappell-Hadlee Series is a great way to start the summer,” Bracwell said in a statement. \u201cI grew up watching those series and the rivalry is massive between New Zealand and Australia. Since 2016 it [the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy] hasn\u2019t been with us, and that\u2019s something we want to change. Having the opportunity to fight for that on home soil is pretty special,” he added.<\/p>\n

Pacers Kyle Jamieson and Ben Sears have marked a return to the squad. Jamieson missed the recent series in Zimbabwe to welcome the birth of his first child, while Sears missed that tour with a side injury.<\/p>\n

New Zealand coach Rob Walter is delighted to see the latter back fit.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s worked incredibly hard over the last 12 weeks to be back on the park and done some awesome work there,” he said. \u201cSo we\u2019re excited to see him back in the competitive fold. We\u2019re building a bigger base of fast bowlers, because we understand that the program is so busy these days, but fast bowling is a key requisite for performance. So we want to make sure we\u2019ve got as many options as we possibly can have.”<\/p>\n

Australia will also be missing three first-choice players in Pat Cummins, Nathan Ellis, and Cameron Green but are in excellent form and will present a formidable challenge to the Trans-Tasman rivals.<\/p>\n
