Squad Updates and Key Information

Both teams have announced their squads for the T20I format ahead of the series. New Zealand’s former captain and star batsman Kane Williamson has retired from T20 internationals to focus on Test cricket, beginning with this series against the West Indies.

"Kane Williamson declared his retirement from T20Is. He has underlined his commitment to playing Test cricket, starting with the series against the West Indies next month."

New Zealand’s Tim Seifert will miss the T20 series after breaking a finger during a domestic match. Mitch Hay has been called up as his replacement, though Devon Conway still competes for the wicketkeeping spot and may be preferred for the starting lineup.

"Seifert’s absence is a setback for New Zealand as they gear up for the 2026 T20 World Cup."

Seifert has been in excellent form this year, boasting a high batting average over fifty and an impressive strike rate in T20 cricket.

For the West Indies, Gudakesh Motie has been excluded from the T20I squad, while Matthew Forde returns after recovering from a shoulder injury sustained in August.

Summary

The New Zealand vs West Indies 2025 series promises intense competition across all formats, with squad changes and player retirements setting the stage for fresh challenges.
