Tim Southee's pinpointing experience as a key element of the Black Caps squad named for June's T20 World Cup in the West Indies and United States

The 15-strong squad features just two players - Matt Henry and Rachin Ravindra - who have never played at the tournament.

Trent Boult will be attending his 7th, captain Kane Williamson his 6th.

Set for his 8th T20 World Cup - Southee says the whole squad is hungry for success.



Henry and Lockie Ferguson join Boult and Southee as the frontline seamers in a spin-heavy squad.

Tim Seifert's non-selection means Devon Conway is first-choice keeper - with Finn Allen providing back-up.
