New Zealand board changed its intention to spoil Pakistan's IPL game

cricket news : Before IPL 2024, Pakistan Cricket Board has announced a 5-match T20 series against New Zealand. This T20 series between Pakistan and New Zealand is going to start from 18th April. Meanwhile, IPL 2024 will continue in India. Many New Zealand players are participating in IPL. In such a situation, after the start of the series against Pakistan, there was a possibility that many veteran players of New Zealand may leave the IPL and return. So all IPL franchises will suffer huge losses. But now the tension of all the IPL franchises has reduced. New Zealand Cricket Board has announced the team for the 5-match T20 series against Pakistan. Looking at this team, it can be said that Pakistan Cricket Board has gone mad.

The tension of all 10 IPL franchises has reduced.

After the announcement of the series against New Zealand, it seemed that all the 10 IPL franchises may suffer a big loss as the franchises have included a total of 14 New Zealand players in their squad for the IPL. The cricket board of every country expects players to give priority to playing for their country first and then to play in the league of another country. Pakistan had also thought something similar due to which the world's richest cricket league IPL was going to suffer losses. But looking at the team announced by New Zealand, it seems that this conspiracy of Pakistan has failed.

Michael Bracewell was made captain

The team announced by New Zealand Cricket will be captained by Michael Bracewell. Bracewell will captain the Kiwi team for the first time. Some big names are missing from the New Zealand team due to IPL 2024, which includes big names like Kane Williamson, Daryl Mitchell and Rachin Ravindra. Michael Bracewell is all set to make a comeback with this series, having been battling injury since March 2023. Tim Robinson and Will O'Rourke have been included in the T20 team for the first time.
