The IND vs NZ is scheduled for November and December 2021.
The New Zealand cricket team will go to India to play two Tests and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches. The Test matches will be part of the World Test Championship from 2021 to 2023. The tour’s schedule was confirmed by the Indian Cricket Board in September 2021. Virat Kohli declared before the Men’s T20 World Cup in 2021 that he will be stepping down as captain of India’s T20I team after the event. The Indian Cricket Board chose Rohit Sharma as India’s T20I captain for the matches against New Zealand in November 2021.
India’s captain for the first Test is Ajinkya Rahane, with Virat Kohli joining the team to captain the side for the second Test.
In the T20I series against New Zealand, Rohit Sharma will head the team. On Tuesday, the team for the series was revealed, with Virat Kohli, who has stepped down as T20I captain, being rested. All-rounders Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja, as well as speedster Mohammed Shami, are among the surprising exclusions.
With the squad announcement coming so soon after the exit of Team India in the T20 World Cup, there was a lot of speculation about bringing in fresh faces. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Venkatesh Iyer, who has scored big in the IPL this year, have been brought in in keeping with that sentiment and potentially with an eye on the upcoming T20 World Cup in Australia next year.
IND vs NZ India’s T20I squad:
Rohit Sharma (Captain), KL Rahul (Vice-Captain), Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (wicket-keeper), Ishan Kishan (wicket-keeper), Yuzvendra Chahal, Venkatesh Iyer, Axar Patel, R Ashwin, Avesh Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Deepak Chahar, Harshal Patel, Mohd. Siraj
