My NZ 15 man WC squad at this point in time would probably be;
Batsmen
Conway
Allen
Williamson (c)
Young
Latham +
Phillips
Mitchell
Pace bowlers
Ferguson
Boult
Shipley or Jamieson if fit
Henry
Southee
Spinners
Sodhi
Bracewell
Santner
Back-up keepers Conway & Phillips. Could be argued 3 spinners isn't enough for a WC squad in the SC but I'd probably play all each game unless conditions suggested otherwise. Neesham stiff since he can be a match-winner, but dude's too inconsistent especially with the ball.

Will Young's ODI average now surges above 50, it's time to stop hiding him.

Very nice from Will Young. While his test game has had its disappointments and he is now stuck behind Nicholls again for the foreseeable future, ODIs could be his niche. Has a great List A record too, fwiw.
Probably still the perennial curse of being stuck just outside the first choice top 6, as in test cricket, though in a tournament like the ODI World Cup that still may see him get a couple of matches.

I think I like Latham at 4 in the sub-continent, given his ability to play spin from ball one. But yeah 4-5-6 could go any way around. I think my best XI has Henry in it, and I'd forgotten about Ferguson (although he hasn't bowled well over the last 12 months).

Nicholls sure got a move on when he saw Young approaching a hundy … eliminate the competition! ?

Loving the way Henry's bowling & would play him ahead of Sodhi on the right pitch but also could see him getting murdered on the wrong type of pitch in India with his meticulous line and length, so horses for courses between him and the 3rd spinner.
Ferguson bowled pretty well without luck in the recent ODIs in India including conceding 53 in his 10 when India scored 385.

Young has such a classical batting style, probably my favourite to watch at the moment in the Black Caps. Great to see him see it through. And well played Nicholls, I wouldn't have picked him for this game but can't deny he has a good temperament for that type of situation.

Yep, & Mitchell too & I could be convinced on the argument for Young over Mitchell in our top XI since I'm not at all a fan of Mitchell's bowling.
