India's Coaching Staff Splits as Test Preparations Begin Ahead of New Zealand Series

India's Coaching Staff Splits as Test Preparations Begin Ahead of New Zealand SeriesPreviousNext

India's cricket coaching staff will split after the third ODI against New Zealand, with head coach Gautam Gambhir and spin coach Sairaj Bahutule staying with the ODI team, while batting coach Sitanshu Kotak and fast-bowling coach Morne Morkel join the Test squad for a preparatory camp in Wellington starting November 11. Three white-ball pace bowlers—Auqib Nabi, Gurnoor Brar, and Arshdeep Singh—will remain in New Zealand to assist the Test team. The camp aims to prepare players for the two-Test World Test Championship series beginning November 19, with challenging pitches and India A matches aiding readiness. The unofficial India A-New Zealand A Test series ended in draws, with rain limiting match practice for key players like Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja.
