Kane Williamson will lead the 15-member New Zealand squad in the upcoming ICC World Cup 2019, the country's cricket board announced on Wednesday.
The biggest surprise is the inclusion of wicketkeeper Tom Blundell, who is yet to play a one-day international (ODI). Tim Seifert, a regular back-up in recent times to first-choice gloveman Tom Latham, has been excluded, partly due to a broken finger which has kept him out of action for the past month.
Blundell's domestic white-ball record is modest as he has averaged 23.81 with three half-centuries in 40 games so far, though he has a Test hundred. He is also considered one of New Zealand's most talented behind the stumps.
Seamer Doug Bracewell has also been left out.
Commenting on the development, Kiwi head coach Gary Stead was quoted as saying by the ICC: "The World Cup is the pinnacle of cricket, and to be the first nation to name a squad for the tournament is really exciting. I'd like to congratulate all the players selected. To represent your country at a World Cup is a huge honour, and I know the entire squad and support staff are looking forward to the challenges ahead.
