India Prepares for New Zealand T20I Series with Limited Practice TimePreviousNext

India's cricket team faces a tight schedule with only five days between the West Indies series and the upcoming T20I series in New Zealand, starting October 22. Opener Sanju Samson highlighted the limited preparation time, noting just one day of batting practice before the New Zealand matches. He emphasized relying on experience and adapting quickly to different conditions, aiming to carry forward positive momentum from the West Indies series. The New Zealand series also serves as preparation for the 2028 T20 World Cup.
