After Bangladesh, New Zealand team will tour India for a 3-match test series. The New Zealand team has been announced for this series. Earlier, the New Zealand team had to face a 2-0 clean sweep on the Sri Lanka tour. Even after this there has been no change in the squad. However, the captain has definitely been changed during this period. Tom Latham has been appointed captain in place of Tim Southee.
Let us tell you that in New Zealand’s team, Mark Chapman has been selected as cover for the injured Kane Williamson. There is suspense over Williamson playing in the first Test. Apart from this, Michael Bracewell will play only the first test. He is about to become a father and will return home. In his place, Ish Sodhi will join the squad in the second and third tests.
