IND vs NZ: Team India is currently in West Indies where the team led by Rohit Sharma is on its way to becoming the world champion. If everything goes well, India will be seen playing the final on 29 June and it is possible that Team India may also win the trophy. Meanwhile, BCCI has announced the new schedule of Team India.

This match will be played between India and New Zealand (IND vs NZ). The Kiwi team is coming to India in October where a three-match Test series will be played between the two teams. Meanwhile, speculation has also started about which players can be included in Team India's squad for this series.

Rishabh Pant can be the captain

The three-match Test series between India and New Zealand (IND vs NZ) will start from October 16. The second match will be played on October 24 while the last match will be played on November 1. As everyone knows that the Indian team is currently playing the T20 World Cup. In such a situation, it is possible that changes may be seen in Team India after the World Cup. The board may change the captain of India.

It is possible that BCCI may hand over the command of Team India to a young player and that could be none other than Rishabh Pant.

Let us tell you that he has captained India. He has captained India in 5 matches, out of which 2 were won, 2 were lost and one match was inconclusive. At the same time, Pant also has experience of captaincy in IPL. In such a situation, he can be fit for this role.

Return of Shami-KL

Mohammed Shami and KL Rahul can make a comeback from the three-match Test series between India and New Zealand (IND vs NZ). Recently KL Rahul was seen in IPL 2024 where his performance was not special, after which he has not been given a place in the World Cup.

He scored 520 runs in 14 matches in IPL 2024 but the average was only 37.14.

At the same time, he has not played a single T20 match for India since the 2022 T20 World Cup, while the ODI World Cup 2023 final was his last ODI match. However, he is playing Tests. This year he played a match against England, so his return to the Test format is certain as his experience will come in handy against New Zealand.

Talking about Shami, he can also make a comeback from injury in this Test series. He was last seen playing in the ODI World Cup 2023. Shami is the king of India's Test format and his presence will help the team a lot.

He has taken 229 wickets in 64 Test matches for India so far.

They may also get a chance

Apart from KL Rahul, Shami and Pant, 12 more players can be included in the match between India and New Zealand (IND vs NZ). Rohit Sharma can be included in the squad for experience. Virat Kohli will also be in the team. Pant will be the young captain so that he can get good support from both of them. At the same time, Jaiswal, Sarfaraz, Jadeja, Ashwin, Akshar, Bumrah, Siraj, Gill, Ishan and Gaikwad can be selected in the squad.
