ICC CHAMPIONS TROPHY: Team New Zealand

They were the champions five tournaments back. The only time they came close thereafter was in 2009. But that doesn't necessarily rule out the Black Caps from being potential title winners this summer.
As they take on their neighbours Australia on June 2, the newly announced New Zealand team will mark the return of Adam Milne, Corey Anderson and Mitchell McClenaghan.

Speaking about the team, coach Mike Heson said, "It’s an exciting squad, an experienced squad and one that has the batting power and the bowling variations to prevail in a potentially high-scoring tournament."

Squad: Kane Williamson (C), Corey Anderson, Trent Boult, Neil Broom, Colin de Grandhomme, Martin Guptill, Tom Latham, Mitchell McClenaghan, Adam Milne, James Neesham, Jeetan Patel, Luke Ronchi, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Ross Taylor

Captain: Kane Williamson

Coach: Mike Hesson

Players to watch out for: Kane Williamson, Corey Anderson, Mitchell McClenaghan, Mitchell Santner
