Mitchell Santner is set to lead New Zealand on their upcoming white-ball tour of Sri Lanka after being named as the team’s interim skipper for the Sri Lanka series. Santner will be captaining the side in two T20I and three ODIs. In the 15-member squad, New Zealand have handed maiden call-ups to allrounder Nathan Smith and wicketkeeper-batter Mitchell Hay.

Big names such as Devon Conway, Tom Blundell, Tom Latham, Daryl Mitchell, Will O'Rourke, Rachin Ravindra, Tim Southee and Kane Williamson were not considered for selection due to the upcoming three-match Test series against England.
