The New Zealand Cricket Council has announced its squad to play the three T20 series against Pakistan starting from Friday at Eden Park.
“The blazing bats of Glenn Phillips and Devon Conway are once again set to light up the BLACKCAPS T20 top-order,” said the press release. “The duo were involved in a T20I world-record, a third-wicket stand of 181 against the West Indies less than a fortnight ago and have been rewarded with selection in a T20 extended squad – which also features the return of Kane Williamson and Trent Boult.”
According to the details, Williamson and Boult along with Tim Southee, Kyle Jamieson, and Daryl Mitchell will only be available for the December 20 game in Hamilton and December 22 match in Napier.
Moreover, due to a bone stress injury of the lumbar spine, Lockie Ferguson will not be able to be a part of the squad. Hamish Bannett has also been ruled out of the series with an abdominal tear.
