India have named their white-ball squad for the ODI and T20I series against New Zealand in November — here’s the full team list for NZ vs IND 2022.
India will tour New Zealand for a three-match T20I series from November 18, which will follow be followed as many ODIs. Just five days after the end of the 2022 T20 World Cup, India will travel to New Zealand for a short white-ball series.
The BCCI announced the two squads on Monday, with a number of youngsters in the mix. Jasprit Bumrah, who missed the T20 World Cup, is not yet fit and has not been picked in any team. Hardik Pandya has been named the captain of the T20I team against the Kiwis in the absence of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul. A number of members from India’s T20 World Cup squad have been selected to go to New Zealand, including Rishabh Pant, Deepak Hooda, Suryakumar Yadav, Yuzvedra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Harshal Patel and Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
The series marks the comeback of Umran Malik. The fast bowler has played three T20Is thus far but was not in contention for selection for the event in Australia. Mohammed Siraj will be the other pacer in the side.
The ODI team will be led by Shikhar Dhawan. Kuldeep Sen will be one of the four quicks in the squad alongside Malik, Arshdeep and Deepak Chahar. The spin department will be led by Chahal and will also feature Kuldeep Yadav, Shahbaz Ahmed and Washington Sundar.
