In addition to Adam Milne, Kyle Jamieson is unavailable due to his long recovery from another stress fracture in his lower back.
“I’d like to congratulate everyone named today. It’s a special time representing your country at a world tournament,” New Zealand coach Gary Stead said on the occasion.
“We expect the venues in the West Indies to offer quite varied conditions and feel we’ve selected a squad with the scope to adapt to those conditions.”
Matt has worked exceptionally hard across the phases of a T20 game to come back into selection consideration,” Stead said.
