New Zealand name Twenty20 probables

New Zealand have chosen their 30-player preliminary squad for the ICC Women's World Twenty20 in June. The only two members of the squad that reached the final at the recent Women's World Cup not to be included were Beth McNeill and the recently retired captain Haidee Tiffen.

The coach Gary Stead said over the next few weeks the group would be whittled down to a final squad of 14 to be announced in early May. "We are planning to hold a camp between 24 and 26 April, where we'll play a few Twenty20 games and allow players match time before the squad is finalised," Stead said.

"We're fortunate to have the core of our squad from the ICC Women's World Cup available - although Haidee Tiffen will be missed. It's also good to see players coming into contention after good performances in this season's State League Twenty20 competition."

New Zealand preliminary squad Suzie Bates, Amber Boyce, Kate Broadmore, Nicola Browne, Saskia Bullen, Sarah Burke, Abby Burrows, Emma Campbell, Rachel Candy, Amanda Cooper, Sophie Devine, Anna Dodd, Lucy Doolan, Maria Fahey, Victoria Lind, Frances Mackay, Katey Martin, Aimee Mason, Sara McGlashan, Prashilla Mistry, Michelle Mitchell, Megan Murphy, Rachel Priest, Kate Pulford, Sian Ruck, Amy Satterthwaite, Sarah Tsukigawa, Megan Wakefield, Anna Wilkins, Kelly Winkley.
