New Zealand have revealed their squad for the upcoming T20I series against West Indies, with Kyle Jamieson and Ish Sodhi returning to the side. Jamieson, who recently missed the ODI series against England due to an injury, makes a successful return to the side. Sodhi returns to the T20I squad after featuring against Australia at the Mount in early October.

Uncapped all-rounder Nathan Smith has also been included in the squad, and he could be in line to make his T20I debut. Matt Henry, who missed the final two ODIs against England with a calf strain, will miss the West Indies assignment to focus on a pre-planned programme. 

“Kyle’s been back bowling this week and is tracking nicely for this series,” New Zealand head coach Rob Walter said. 

“Nathan’s made an impressive start to his international career in the Test and ODI formats and we back him to do the job if he gets his T20 chance in this series."

“Ish is our most capped T20I player and it’s always great to be able to add his skills, energy and experience to the group."

“Matt has played every game for the BLACKCAPS since the tour to Zimbabwe in July - so it’s the right moment for him to have a short break and the fact he will also get some time to rehab his calf is another upside.”

Meanwhile, Finn Allen (foot), Lockie Ferguson (hamstring), Adam Milne (ankle), Glenn Phillips (groin), and Ben Sears (hamstring) are all missing out due to their respective injury setbacks.
