India Plans Bowling Backups and Workload Management for New Zealand Test Series
India's cricket team plans to retain a group of bowlers in New Zealand as backups for the upcoming two-match Test series starting November 19. Bowling coach Morne Morkel described this workload management strategy as "bulletproof," aiming to navigate a packed schedule including T20Is and ODIs. Left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh, primarily a white-ball player, is being considered for a potential red-ball debut. The team will monitor conditions and rotate bowlers to ensure readiness for the Tests.
