Today, the Black Caps named their squad for the upcoming Chappell-Hadlee T20I series against Australia that gets underway on October 1st.

Regular short form captain Mitch Santner was unable to reach match fitness before the series began so Michael Bracewell has been named the captain of the side who will compete in three T20 internationals at the Bay Oval in Tauranga.

D'Arcy spoke with Michael after the squad naming to talk about the series.
