New Zealand Cricket World Cup Team

New Zealand has a powerful 15 man squad with the best players for this year's ICC Cricket World Cup. With 6 batsmen, 5 bowlers and 2 all rounders, the New Zealand cricket team has a strong potential, despite not having won any World Cup tournaments before.

Below is the New Zealand Squad for World Cup:

New Zealand National Cricket Team

Kane Williamson is one of the finest batsmen the New Zealand team has for World Cup, with his hereditary sports skills and fast bowling. He has staggered a total of 3000 ODI runs, and won by one wicket against Australia in the World Cup 2015. He is also an outstanding catcher and offspinner. The backbone of the batting line up, with his captaincy, he is a favourable choice if New Zealand wants to win the World Cup.

Tom Blundell is a backup wicketkeeper. He earned his victory in the national T20 tournament and got called for ODI squad against Australia. He was in the U-19 World Cup squad in 2010. His breakthrough was when he made 1073 runs in 28 matches in 2015. In 2016, he made 537 runs in 17 matches. He scored the highest a wicketkeeper-batsman can in the Super Smash, with his tally of 243 runs in nine innings.

Trent Boult is a threat to all batsmen around the world with his deadly pace. Along with his partner Southee, they can put a lot of pressure on the openers and vouch for being the best new ball pair in New Zealand. The biggest confirmation of his talent arrived in World Cup 2015 when he became a joint-leading wicket taker. He took 22 wickets in nine matches and beat Australia with 5 for 27.

He played his first Test against India in 2014 which made him the opener. He scored three successive half-centuries that eventually led to their win. He also scored centuries in successive Tests, making him the first of his kind.
