What's the latest team news for India vs New Zealand 2024 Tests?
India have retained most of the squad that played Bangladesh recently. Yash Dayal, who earned his maiden international call-up in the last series, has been released to play for Uttar Pradesh in the Ranji Trophy.
The home side has also named Jasprit Bumrah the vice-captain, indicating that the fast bowler might lead India if Rohit Sharma is later confirmed to miss the first Test against Australia in November. Mohammed Shami is yet to recover from a knee injury and hasn't been named in the side.
The series marks Tom Latham's first stint as full-time Test captain after Tim Southee stepped down from the position. Southee will compete with Matt Henry, Ben Sears and Will O’Rourke for a pacer’s spot in New Zealand's XI. In a major blow for the tourists, Kane Williamson is set to miss the start of the series due to a groin injury. Mark Chapman has been added as a cover.
Michael Bracewell will return home after the curtain-raiser for the birth of his child and will be replaced by Ish Sodhi for the remaining matches.
#ICYMI: India have named their squad for the home Test series against New Zealand.
