New Zealand Women’s Cricket Team has officially announced its 15-member squad for the upcoming ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, set to take place in England.
Star all-rounder Amelia Kerr will lead the side, marking a significant leadership role as the team prepares for one of the biggest events in women’s cricket.
Experienced players Sophie Devine and Suzie Bates have also been included in the squad. Both veterans are expected to play their final World Cup before retiring from international cricket.
The tournament is scheduled to begin on June 12 in England, where top international teams will compete for the prestigious title.
Before the World Cup begins, New Zealand will play a three-match T20 series against England as part of their preparation. This series is expected to help the team fine-tune strategies and combinations.
The inclusion of senior players alongside emerging talent reflects a balanced approach, aiming to maximize both experience and fresh energy within the squad.
With leadership under Amelia Kerr and the farewell appearances of Devine and Bates, New Zealand enters the tournament with both emotional significance and competitive ambition.
