India Finalizes Squads for New Zealand Tour Including Test Comebacks and Preparations
India's cricket selectors are preparing squads for the upcoming New Zealand tour, featuring five T20Is, five ODIs, and two Tests from October 22 to December 1. Fast bowler Akash Deep is set for a Test recall after recovering from a back injury, while Prasidh Krishna may be included despite a hamstring issue. Kuldeep Yadav is unlikely to be picked for Tests due to pitch conditions favoring pacers. Jasprit Bumrah and other key players are expected to participate, with India A also playing unofficial matches as preparation.
