New Zealand Test Team vs India: New Zealand has announced the team for the Test series against India. New Zealand has confirmed the 14-member team for the Test series starting from November 19, which is commanded by Tom Latham. The big thing is that this team has also seen the return of those 3 players who were out due to injury. New Zealand's Test team consists mostly of the same faces who were seen playing in the Test series on the tour of England this year. A 2 test series is to be played between India and New Zealand.
These 3 players returned after injury
Rachin Ravindra, Tom Blundell and Devon Conway have been seen returning after injury in New Zealand's Test team against India. Rachin's shoulder was injured. Blundell had a quadriceps injury while Devon Conway suffered a concussion before the third ODI. But after being selected in the team, now these three players are likely to play in the first test.
The look of the New Zealand Test team is almost the same, which toured England this year. This team just doesn't have Jack Foulkes, Ben Sears and Will O'Rourke. The reason for these three not being selected is injury. Jacob Duffy has been included in the Test team against India.
First clash between India and New Zealand in Test after 2024
The Test series between India and New Zealand will start from Wellington. Whereas its second match will be played in Christchurch. This is the first clash between India and New Zealand in Test cricket after the year 2024. In 2024, New Zealand toured India, where it created history by completing a clean sweep in the 3-Test series. Now India will have a chance to settle the score of that defeat.
