ICC T20 World Cup 2021: New Zealand team profile

T20 World Cup in the UAE: Kane Williamson will lead New Zealand bid for their maiden world title in the shortest format of the game. New Zealand head into the T20 World Cup as the reigning World Test Champions.

New Zealand will be led by Kane Williamson, their influential leader, at the T20 World Cup, starting October 17 in the UAE. The Blackcaps are yet to win a major ICC trophy but their World Test Championship victory should give them the confidence to go all out in the UAE.

New Zealand have left out a couple of big names as Ross Taylor and Colin de Grandhomme don't find a place in their T20 World Cup squad.
