New Zealand on Monday named three spinners in the Black Caps squad for the ICC World Twenty20 in India, anticipating a wealth of turning wickets.

Veteran Nathan McCullum, Mitchell Santner and Ish Sodhi were all included in the 15-man party, which will be captained by Kane Williamson with Brendon McCullum’s retirement pending. “With the Indian conditions in mind, the plan has always been to take three front-line spinners and all three bring something different,” coach Mike Hesson said.

“It’s great to have Nathan available again and his experience in the foreign conditions will be invaluable,” he added.

Hesson said Tim Southee, Ross Taylor and Mitchell McClenaghan were expected to return for the March 8-April 3 tournament.

Squad

Kane Williamson (captain), Corey Anderson, Trent Boult, Grant Elliott, Martin Guptill, Adam Milne, Mitchell McClenaghan, Colin Munro, Nathan McCullum, Henry Nicholls, Luke Ronchi, Mitchell Santner, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee, Ross Taylor.
