The head coach of Cricket New Zealand “I think when you go to World Cups you want experience and you want people that know what it’s like,” Stead said. “That certainly doesn’t exclude those who have put their hand up. I think that what’s been exciting about the tour to Pakistan. We’ve seen some performances from some younger players, that’s exciting for our future. And the message I had to them was, look, you haven’t been selected in the side, but in two years there’ll be another World Cup and that should be certainly a big enough carrot for you guys to put pressure on these guys that are here now.”
Stead also said that there is a possibility of recalling veteran batters Colin Munro and Martin Guptill because of the experience they have but “Those guys were discussed because of the experience they have,” Stead said. “But when you look at the group of batters that we’ve selected, there was no room for them,” said Stead.
