Team India For New Zealand Test Series: The Indian team has been announced for the 3 test match series between India and New Zealand. The 15-member Indian cricket team will be led by Rohit Sharma, while Jasprit Bumrah will be his deputy. The squad that was announced for the Test series against Bangladesh was largely unchanged. However, there was no vice-captain of the Indian team in the test match played against Bangladesh in Kanpur. But in the series against New Zealand, fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has been given the responsibility of vice-captain.
Fast bowler Mohammed Shami was expected to return in this series. But he has not been given a place in the team. Mohammed Shami's name was not in the press release issued by BCCI. The board has not given any information about Shami. Shami last played the final of the ODI World Cup. After this he was out of the Indian team due to injury. A recent report has claimed that Shami has not yet fully recovered from the injury. Due to which he may be out of the next series against Australia. However, Shami called this report a rumour.
Apart from this, Yash Dayal, who was included in the team for the Test series against Bangladesh, has also not been given a place in the team. Apart from this, the Indian team management has not yet looked back towards Ishan Kishan. In his place, Dhruv Jurel has once again been given a place in the team as the second wicketkeeper. Mayank Yadav has been included as a traveling reserve for the series against New Zealand. Apart from Mayank Yadav, Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Prasidh Krishna have also been named as traveling reserves.
According to a report, Rohit Sharma will not play the first or second Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. In such a situation, people's eyes are fixed on the vice-captain of the Indian Test team. Earlier, Bumrah had also been the vice-captain in the Test series against Sri Lanka at home in March 2022. After this he played the role of vice-captain in the Test series against South Africa and England.
The first match of the Test series between India and New Zealand will be held on 16 October. This match will be played in Bengaluru. After this, the second match will be held in Pune from 24 to 28 October. The last match of the series will be played in Mumbai between 01 to 05 November.
