Santner to Lead New Zealand in White-Ball Formats Against Sri Lanka
Mitchell Santner has been named New Zealand’s white-ball captain for the upcoming series against Sri Lanka, the New Zealand Cricket Board (NZC) confirmed on Tuesday. While Santner will lead the team in this series, no decision has been made yet on whether he will be appointed as the permanent captain.
Previously, New Zealand’s regular white-ball captain, Kane Williamson, stepped down from the leadership role following a series of setbacks. Williamson captained New Zealand in 91 ODIs and 75 T20Is.
The upcoming Sri Lanka series will also feature two debutants for New Zealand: bowling all-rounder Nathan Smith and wicketkeeper-batsman Mitch Hay. New Zealand will play two T20s and three ODIs against Sri Lanka.
New Zealand T20I and ODI Squad:
Mitchell Santner (captain), Michael Bracewell, Mark Chapman, Josh Clarkson, Jacob Duffy, Lockie Ferguson, Jack Fox, Dean Foxcroft, Mitch Hay (wicketkeeper), Henry Nicholls, Glenn Phillips, Tim Robinson, Nathan Smith, Ish Sodhi, and Will Young.
