Kane Williamson scored an incredible victory in the first Test. The second Test starts on Friday. Then the ODI series will start on March 25. New Zealand announced a 16-member team ahead of this series on Tuesday. However, since the IPL is ahead, the New Zealand cricket officials have to be very quick to announce this team. Kane Williamson (Gujarat Titans), Tim Southee (Kolkata Knight Riders), Devon Conway (Chennai Super Kings), and Mitchell Santner (Chennai Super Kings) have already left to play in the IPL. Meanwhile, Finn Allen (Royal Challengers Bangalore), Lockie Ferguson (KKR), and Glenn Phillips (Sunrisers Hyderabad) will fly to India for the first ODI against Sri Lanka. Due to the shortage of star players, there is a lot of confusion about who will lead the ODI team. In the end, the captaincy was handed over to Tom Latham. Tom Blundell and Will Young have been brought back to white-ball cricket in a player crisis. Besides, Mark Chapman and Henry Nicholls will join the second and third ODI teams. On the other hand, Chad Bowes and Ben Lister have been brought into the team as new faces. They may make their debut against Sri Lanka. Chad has been playing well in the top order in domestic cricket for several seasons now. Besides, he is also great at fielding. That’s what coach Gary Steed said. After March 25, the remaining two ODIs of the series will be held on March 28 and 31.

New Zealand ODI Team:
Tom Latham (captain), Finn Allen (1st ODI), Tom Blundell, Chad Bowes, Michael Bracewell, Mark Chapman (2nd & 3rd ODI), Lockie Ferguson (1st ODI), Matt Henry, Ben Lister (2nd & 3rd ODI), Daryl Mitchell, Henry Nicholls (2nd and 3rd ODIs), Glenn Phillips (1st ODIs) Henry Shipley, Ish Sodhi, Blair Tickner, and Will Young.
