New Zealand will be led by Phil Burrows (336 tests), Ryan Archibald (284), Simon Child (230) and Shea McAleese (214) at the June 3-14 tournament.
The Black Sticks are among 10 sides competing for a place in the World League final, while the event also doubles as an opportunity to automatically qualify for the 2016 Rio Olympics through gaining a top-three placing.
Veteran Archibald returns to the team after missing the recent International Challenge in Hobart, adding strength to a youthful and talented midfield including Arun Panchia, George Muir and Nic Woods.
Southern defender and drag-flicking option Kane Russell also returns for the first time this year after being rewarded for a strong period of training.
Batch said it was pleasing to have strong players ready to step up.
''We have some injuries at present with Nick Wilson, Shay Neal and James Coughlan all sidelined, but have created good depth and are still able to put out a very good side for Argentina.''
That depth has led to a few role changes in this team with Burrows moving back up to striker and McAleese pushing back into defence.
''Steve Edwards will also move into the attacking line. He is a very talented player with great attacking skills and we think he can be a genuine goal-scoring threat.''
New Zealand is joined in pool A at the tournament by the Netherlands, South Korea, Japan and Egypt, while pool B consists of Germany, Argentina, Spain, Canada and Austria.
The Black Sticks play four pool games before a sudden-death quarterfinal against a pool B opponent.
