Ish Sodhi and Tom Blundell claimed the final two spots in the squad, which was announced in Christchurch this morning. The Black Caps' Indian Premier League contingent will be unavailable for those warm-up games, raising the distinct possibility that a player snubbed from the Cup squad could then shine against a full-strength Australian unit. The Black Caps World Cup squad: Kane Williamson, Martin Guptill, Henry Nicholls, Ross Taylor, Tom Latham, Colin Munro, Tom Blundell, Colin de Grandhomme, Mitchell Santner, Jimmy Neesham, Ish Sodhi, Matt Henry, Lockie Ferguson, Tim Southee, Trent Boult.
