West Indies Preview
The West Indies have shown inconsistency in recent ODIs, with dominant wins against Bangladesh and Pakistan mixed with other results, including a 2-1 series loss to Bangladesh in October. Captain Shai Hope's side seeks a fresh, strong start to this series, promising exciting batting, quality bowling, and tight fielding. John Campbell has been recalled to the 15-member ODI squad against New Zealand after a six-year absence. His selection is attributed to strong red-ball performances and his form in the Super50 Cup, where he was Jamaica's leading run-scorer (278 runs at a strike rate of 102.20). All six of Campbell's previous ODIs were in 2019, including a high score of 179 against Ireland.
Key Players: Alick Athanaze, John Campbell, Shai Hope, Sherfane Rutherford
