However, they also have some experienced players like Scott Styris, Kyle Mills and Daniel Vettori, who can lead the bowling attack. They are experienced and talented players in New Zealand team. Daniel Vettori is ranked fifth player in the all-rounder ranking. So, he will have to play the key role in the upcoming World Cup.
