New Zealand
New Zealand selected a preliminary squad of 30, before cutting it down to 14 on 7 September. Scott Styris was included despite missing a county match with Middlesex due to injury; Shane Bond, Jacob Oram and Daniel Vettori had all recovered from injuries and were included, while Michael Mason was ruled out by an injury. The selection of Wellington seamer Mark Gillespie, described by coach John Bracewell as "the domestic season's outstanding pace bowler", was described by Herald on Sunday writer Dylan Cleaver as a "bolter".
