New Zealand will be hoping to stifle their opponents by taking pace off
the ball with the inclusion of three frontline spinners in their 15-man
squad for next month's World Twenty20.
Off-spinner Nathan McCullum, left-armer Mitchell Santner and leggie Ish Sodhi were included in the Kane Williamson-led side.
"With the Indian conditions in mind, the plan has always been to take
three frontline spinners, and all three bring something different,"
coach Mike Hesson said in a New Zealand Cricket (NZC) statement on
Monday February 01,2016

India became the first champion followed by Pakistan (2009), England (2010), West Indies (2012) and Sri Lanka (2014)| 2007 | On September 24, 2007, India became the first Twenty20 champions by defeating its arch-rivals Pakistan in the finals at Wanderers, Johannesburg by 5 runs. Team India was led by M.S. Dhoni. This championship became memorable when Yuvraj Singh hit six sixes in an over off the bowling of England's Stuart Broad. |
| 2009 | On June 21, 2009, Pakistan lifted the T20 title by defeating Sri Lanka at Lords. Shahid Afridi impressed with his leg-spin and then produced an effort (54 not out off 40 balls) of substance in the finals. |
| 2010 | On May 16, 2010, England lifted its first ICC trophy by defeating its arch-rivals Australia in the finals at Bridgetown. |
| 2012 | On October 7, 2012, West Indies defeated Sri Lanka by 36 runs in the finals at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. It was a major ICC title for West Indies after a long hiatus. |
| 2014 | On April 6, 2014, Sri Lanka defeated India in the finals to lift the title in Dhaka. It was indeed a fitting farewell for Sangakkara and Jayawardene as it cantered to a six-wicket win |
