If you’re wondering why the teams look very different to the last time they played, both New Zealand and India have opted to withdraw some of their Test players to give them time to prepare for the upcoming red-ball series.

For India, that is KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, and Anshul Kamboj, while the Kiwis have removed the likes of Glenn Phillips, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham, Nathan Smith, and Jacob Duffy.
