New Zealand has announced its team for this series but the Indian team is yet to be announced. Perhaps the performance of some players in the Ranji Trophy is being awaited. The Ranji Trophy is starting from October 11 and after watching the first two days of play, perhaps the Indian team will be announced then.
India's team against New Zealand may remain almost the same as the one that played against Bangladesh. However, there may be a few changes. Fast bowler Yash Dayal may be dropped from the team. The reason for this is that Yash Dayal is not able to make a place in the playing eleven. He did not get a chance to play against Bangladesh as well. For this reason, Yash Dayal may be dropped. India has Jaspreet Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj and Akash Deep Singh as other fast bowlers. Akash Deep's performance was excellent against Bangladesh. For this reason, the chances of him being dropped are very low.
If Yash Dayal is dropped and a fast bowler is brought in, then Mukesh Kumar can be included. He was dropped from the Bangladesh series. However, Mukesh Kumar played brilliantly in the Duleep Trophy. For this reason, he can return to the Indian team. The rest of the spin pair is going to remain the same. There is no change in batting as well. There is little chance of Rituraj Gaikwad and Shreyas Iyer getting a chance.
India's probable team for New Zealand Test series
Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep Singh, Jaspreet Bumrah, Mukesh Kumar, Dhruv Jurel, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, Sarfaraz Khan.
