Netherlands squad

The Netherlands have named an experienced provisional squad for the World Cup. Veteran left-arm spinner Roelof van der Merwe has been recalled, and so has Colin Ackermann, both of whom weren’t available during their brilliant run in the World Cup Qualifier earlier this year.

Here is the full Netherlands squad.

New Zealand squad

New Zealand announced their squad with a heartwarming video featuring players’ families. 

In a major breakthrough for New Zealand, star batter Kane Williamson was named in the World Cup squad as his recovery from the knee injury he sustained during IPL 2023 has gone better than expected.

Update: Tim Southee suffered a dislocated and fractured thumb and will undergo surgery. A call will be taken on his World Cup participation soon.

Here’s the full NZ squad.
