India Considers Harshit Rana and New Players for New Zealand Cricket Series
India's cricket selectors and team management are considering fast-bowling all-rounder Harshit Rana for the upcoming Test and ODI series in New Zealand, pending his fitness update after injury rehabilitation. The Indian team will play five ODIs and two Tests next month, with squad announcements delayed due to fitness assessments of Rana, Rishabh Pant, and Prasidh Krishna. Additionally, players like Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Abhishek Sharma may debut in ODIs, while some established players might be rested ahead of the Test matches.
