Having made at least the semi-finals of the last three editions, New Zealand crashed out in the opening round this time.

Stead, who took over as New Zealand coach in 2018 and led them to the 2021 final, has a year left on his contract.

The 37-year-old lefthander's last international was a T20 match against India in 2020 -- but he had long hoped to claw his way back into the squad.

Kane Williamson will captain the T20 World Cup squad for a fourth time as New Zealand hunt for a maiden title after reaching the semi-finals of the last three tournaments and the final in 2021.

New Zealand all-rounder Rachin Ravindra became the youngest player to win the Sir Richard Hadlee Medal, the highest award for men's cricket in New Zealand, on Wednesday.

Despite being named in the original squad, Williamson will undergo further rehabilitation after knee surgery last April, while Jamieson is nursing a hamstring injury, the Black Caps said.

Puketapu-Lyndon, who is also chair of the New Zealand Olympic Committee and was chief financial officer on two America's Cup campaigns, will step up from her role as deputy chair.

"The cricket, as well, is just a bonus," said batter Will Young.

The Dutch brought in Sybrand Engelbrecht for Saqib Zulfiqar and Ryan Klein replaces Logan van Beek who suffered a hamstring injury in their opening 81-run defeat against Pakistan, also in Hyderabad on Friday.

Former Bangladesh skipper Mashrafe Bin Mortaza praised the way New Zealand Cricket (NZC) announced their squad for the upcoming ODI World Cup, to be held in India in October-November.

New Zealand Cricket (NZC) announced their World Cup squad in the most wholesome of ways as they roped in the families of the chosen 15 to announce the players' names.

Williamson has scored more than 6,500 runs in one-day international cricket and led New Zealand in their nail-biting defeat by England in the 2019 World Cup final.

Boult, who opted out of his contract last year, was not included in New Zealand's updated list of contracted players on Thursday but had instead signed a "casual playing agreement", New Zealand Cricket said.

Stead has held both roles since succeeding Mike Hesson in 2018, guiding New Zealand to the final of the 50-over 2019 World Cup and the inaugural World Test Championship (WTC) title in 2021

New Zealand all-rounder Daryl Mitchell is a doubt for the Twenty20 World Cup in Australia starting this month after fracturing a finger in training on Friday.

Matt Henry made a return to the New Zealand ODI squad for the three-match ODI series against Australia starting September 6.

Tim Southee and Trent Boult combined to demolish the West Indies top-order batting as New Zealand scored a series-levelling victory in the second One-Day International of a three-match series at Kensington Oval in Barbados on Friday.

Trent Boult giving up his New Zealand Cricket contract is another sign of a revolution sweeping through the game -- a change happening not at the leisurely pace of a test match but at the breakneck speed of a Twenty20 innings.

Retired batter Ross Taylor has revealed he was offended by race-based remarks from team mates and staff in New Zealand dressing rooms during his career and said the country's cricket board could do more to bring Polynesian talent into the sport.
