New Zealand Announces Squad for India Test Series; Kane Williamson Likely to Miss First Match

New Zealand squad

IND vs NZ: New Zealand has announced their squad for the upcoming Test series against India. The team recently suffered a heavy defeat in a two-match Test series against Sri Lanka.

New Zealand has formed a strong squad for the series against India. However, itโ€™s unlikely that Kane Williamson will play in the first Test due to a back injury. He has been struggling with injuries for a long time, which has caused him to be in and out of the team. In Williamsonโ€™s absence, Tom Latham will lead the team on this tour.

New Zealand includes a strong spin attack for the series against India.

New Zealand has included several spin bowlers in their squad for the series against India. Ajaz Patel, Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra, and Mitchell Santner will handle the spin bowling duties. The experienced fast bowlers Tim Southee and Matt Henry will lead the pace attack. Will Oโ€™Rourke, who bowled impressively against Sri Lanka, has also been included.

New Zealandโ€™s batting will depend heavily on Devon Conway and Daryl Mitchell, who will need to take on extra responsibility, especially in the absence of Kane Williamson.

The New Zealand team for the India series is as follows:
โ€“ Tom Latham (Captain)
โ€“ Tom Blundell (wicketkeeper)
โ€“ Michael Bracewell (1st Test only)
โ€“ Mark Chapman (uncapped)
โ€“ Devon Conway
โ€“ Matt Henry
โ€“ Daryl Mitchell
โ€“ Will Oโ€™Rourke
โ€“ Ajaz Patel
โ€“ Glenn Phillips
โ€“ Rachin Ravindra
โ€“ Mitchell Santner
โ€“ Ben Sears
โ€“ Ish Sodhi (2nd & 3rd Test only)
โ€“ Tim Southee
โ€“ Kane Williamson
โ€“ Will Young
