India tour of New Zealand 2022: Full squads, Fixtures & Preview: All you need to know
India will play 3 ODIs and 3 T20Is between 18th and 30th November on their tour of New Zealand right after their T20 WC disappointment.
FIXTURES, LIVE SCORES, RESULTS AND STATS
The Indian T20I side will be led by Hardik Pandya with Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul among several players from the T20 World Cup squad to be rested. With the direction in which things are going, Pandya might be named the full-time T20 captain in the not so distant future.
Rishabh Pant has been named Pandya's deputy for the New Zealand T20Is, and will also be the vice-captain of the ODI side which will be led by Shikhar Dhawan.
Dhawan being in the mix gives a clear indication that he is still in India's scheme of things as far as the 2023 ODI WC goes.
Madhya Pradesh pacer Kuldeep Sen and J&K speedster Umran Malik have also been given opportunities alongside usual suspects Ishan Kishan, Shubman Gill, Deepak Hooda, Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson, Washington Sundar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Harshal Patel and Mohammed Siraj.
However, there is no place for the likes of Ruturaj Gaikwad, Prasidh Krishna and Venkatesh Iyer who were previously part of the Indian squads.
The Kiwis are yet to name their squads.
