Former cricketer Aakash Chopra has raised questions regarding the roles of Rishabh Pant and Nitish Kumar Reddy in the Indian ODI squad for the upcoming series against New Zealand. Chopra questioned why Pant was not utilized at the number four position during the recent South Africa series, especially with Shreyas Iyer's return potentially impacting his place. He also queried Nitish Reddy's inclusion and lack of game time, suggesting it hinders preparation for future needs, particularly in Hardik Pandya's absence.
