New Delhi. New Zealand, which is playing a Test series against India, has announced its team for the ODI and T20 matches scheduled to take place next month. The New Zealand team will play this series of ODI and T20 matches against Sri Lanka on their soil. New Zealand have appointed Mitchell Santner as captain for this series. Mitchell Santner is considered the acting captain.

Kane Williamson decided to step down as captain at the beginning of the year. Since then, New Zealand voters have failed to choose the right successor to Williamson. Mitchell Santner, who was appointed captain for the Sri Lanka tour, has already taken on this responsibility. But in the long run it is difficult to make him captain. Reason: Mitchell Santner’s place in the playing eleven has not been confirmed. On pitches that favor fast bowlers, he often has to be left out of the playing eleven.

As for the team selected for the Sri Lanka tour, only six of the current players who were part of the India tour got a place in it. In addition to Mitchell Santner, this also includes Michael Bracewell, Mark Chapman, Glenn Phillips, Ish Sodhi and Will Young. While Tom Latham, Devon Conway, Daryl Mitchell, Rachin Ravindra, Matt Henry, William Oruc, Ajaz Patel, Ben Sears and Tim Southee have no place in the ODI T20 team.

New Zealand ODI and T20 squad: Mitchell Santner (captain), Michael Bracewell, Henry Nicholls, Will Young, Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, Josh Clarkson, Jacob Duffy, Lockie Ferguson, Jack Foulkes, Dean Foxcroft, Mitch Hay (week), Tim Robinson, Nathan Smith, Ish Sodhi .
