    ‘Been A Pretty Whirlwind Couple Of Weeks,’ Says McConchie On Sudden T20 WC Call-up

    By IANS News March 05, 2026 • 22:06 PM View: 260
    T20 World Cup: Cole McConchie, New Zealand’s late addition to the squad, had a night to remember in Kolkata during the semi-final clash as the Kiwis knocked out South Africa to become the first finalists of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. The fast-bowler said the weeks since his call-up to the side have been a 'whirlwind', saying he was ‘super stoked’ to receive the opportunity.

    McConchie, alongside Rachin Ravindra, delivered crucial blows to the Proteas’ top order, restricting their scoring opportunities and setting up a commanding position for New Zealand. He replaced Michael Bracewell after an unfortunate injury and played a pivotal role in their semi-final victory over South Africa, and the Black Caps will now play the tournament’s summit clash at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday.

    Reflecting on his sudden call-up, McConchie told New Zealand Cricket, “Yeah, it's been a pretty whirlwind couple of weeks really. Yeah, I was preparing for a four-trophy match down in Invercargill, and I was actually studying in my room the night before the game and yeah, got a text from Black Caps selector Gavin Larson to give him a call. So I gave him a call and obviously the unfortunate news that Michael Bracewood had been ruled out.”
