Team India is all set to play a multi-format white-ball series against New Zealand on home soil beginning on 18 January. The tour which will continue till 1 February, includes three One-Day Internationals and three T20 Internationals.
The Indian unit will be high on confidence, thanks to their dominant performance in the recently-concluded home series against Sri Lanka. The Men in Blue won the T20I series 2-1 while registering a 3-0 whitewash in the 50-over format. On the other hand, the Kiwis are also in good form as they defeated Pakistan 2-1 in their last ODI series, away from home.
The BCCI has made several modifications to the squads announced for the New Zealand series. All-rounder Hardik Pandya will continue to lead the T20I side and Rohit Sharma will serve as the captain in the ODIs. Young batter Prithvi Shaw has earned a call-up for the shortest format owing to his remarkable form recently in the Ranji Trophy. However, KL Rahul and Axar Patel will be unavailable for the entire series due to their respective family commitments.
In the absence of Rishabh Pant, Ishan Kishan and KS Bharat are included as the wicketkeepers. Veteran batters Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have once again been rested in the T20Is. Star pacer Jasprit Bumrah will be out of action due to injury issues.
In November last year, the Indian side toured New Zealand to play a limited-over series after the T20 World Cup. While most of the games were abandoned due to bad weather issues, India bagged the T20I series and the home unit came out victorious in the longer format.
