On Friday, October 11, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) unveiled the India National Cricket Team squad for the upcoming three-match Test series against New Zealand.
The squad closely resembles the team that recently secured a 2-0 victory in a two-match Test series against Bangladesh, led by Rohit Sharma. A significant highlight of the announcement is the appointment of premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah as the new vice-captain for the Tests.
The only change to the squad is the exclusion of left-arm pacer Yash Dayal, while the remainder of the team remains intact. Additionally, the BCCI has named four reserve players for the series.
India’s Squad for the Test Series Against New Zealand are Rohit Sharma (C), Jasprit Bumrah (VC), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant (WK), Dhruv Jurel (WK), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohd. Siraj, Akash Deep
Traveling Reserves are Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Mayank Yadav, Prasidh Krishna
Fans are looking forward to the series, anticipating strong performances from the squad as they take on New Zealand. Further details regarding match schedules and venues will be announced soon.
