New Zealand Cricket released its central contracts for the 2026-27 season. The list brings changes to the squad.

Two players lost their spots. Adi Ashok, born in India, and Muhammad Abbas, born in Pakistan, are out of the 20-man list.

Two players returned to the group. Devon Conway and Blair Tickner are back on central contracts.

Some players chose specific formats. Michael Bracewell and Mark Chapman are now white-ball specialists. They asked the board to exclude them from Test cricket rankings.
