New Zealand named a spin heavy squad on Wednesday to travel to the T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka next month, led by captain Mitchell Santner.

Three of New Zealand's four pool games will be played at the spin-friendly Chepauk Stadium in Chennai, which is a familiar hunting ground for former Chennai Super Kings Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell and Santner.
