India and New Zealand will face off in a three-match T20I and two-match Test series from November 17 — here’s the full squad and team list of both teams.
Just three days after playing the T20 World Cup final against Australia, New Zealand will travel to India where they will be playing three T20Is. The home team have rested a number of their star players, including Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah for the 20-over matches. The Test side will see the absence of Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, Mohammad Shami while Kohli has opted for rest from the first Test match.
The Kiwis, on the other hand, will play a full-strength team in the T20Is. They will go in with the same squad that travelled with them for the T20 World Cup. However, the Test side will be without Trent Boult, who has made himself unavailable due to bio-bubble fatigue.
