O'Rourke, Sears, Smith Named In Santer-led NZ Squad For Champions Trophy
ICC T20 World Cup: Pace trio Will O’Rourke, Ben Sears and Nathan Smith have been selected in a Mitchell Santner-led squad for the Champions Trophy and the preceding Tri-Series in Pakistan, the New Zealand Cricket announced on Sunday.
This is the first time Santner will be leading New Zealand at a major ICC event after being named full-time white-ball captain last month. He had a successful captaincy stint in the ODI & T20I series at home against Sri Lanka.
Sears, who was a travelling reserve for last year’s ICC T20 World Cup in the USA and West Indies, is selected after making his return to cricket in the Wellington Firebirds’ Super Smash defeat to the Central Stags on Thursday.
