New Zealand Squad for T20 World Cup: Full list of New Zealand players for T20 World Cup 2021
After winning the inaugural ICC World Test Championship, the New Zealand cricket team will be keen to add another trophy to their cabinet by lifting the ICC T20 World Cup title for the first time in their history.
New Zealand performed exceptionally well in the Super 10 stage of the previous T20 World Cup. The Kiwis won all their group matches and topped the standings. However, they crashed out of the tournament by losing to England in the semifinals.
Good luck to fellow @ICC East Asia Pacific Team @Cricket_PNG ahead of their first ever @T20WorldCup match this Sunday against Oman! @RossLTaylor worked with the Barramundis during a camp in the UAE in 2017. #T20WorldCup #backthebarras https://t.co/ffMRMDp1YR

New Zealand have been a part of all editions of the ICC T20 World Cup played so far. However, they have never made it to the summit clash of the tournament.
The Blackcaps qualified for the semifinals in 2007 and 2016, but lost the knockout game on both occasions. England defeated them in 2016, while Pakistan got the better of the Kiwis in 2007.
