Team India: The Indian team recently clean swept Bangladesh in the two-match Test series. Now his eyes will be on the New Zealand Test series. Let us tell you that a three-match test series will be played between these two teams. Team India will be seen hosting the upcoming series. India vs New Zealand Test series will start from 16th October.

At present, BCCI has not announced India's official squad for this series. However, today in this article we are going to predict the names of those 16 players who can be a part of the team in this important test series. Besides, most of those players can also be seen playing the Border Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. Let us discuss it in detail.

Big responsibility will be on the shoulders of Rohit Sharma

Team India

During the upcoming Test series against New Zealand, the command of Team India will once again rest on the shoulders of Rohit Sharma. Let us tell you that Hitman will be seen in this role till Champions Trophy 2025. This means that Rohit Sharma will be the captain of India even during the Border Gavaskar Trophy to be held against Australia later this year.

Both these series will be very important from the Indian team's point of view to reach the final of the ICC World Test Championship 2025. Let us tell you that if India has to go to the WTC final for the third time in a row, then they will have to win at least 3 out of the 8 tests played between New Zealand and Australia, and after drawing one match, they will go to the title match. In that respect, there is going to be a big responsibility on the shoulders of Rohit.

One change in Team India played against Bangladesh

There is a possibility of an important change in the 16-member Team India, which recently played a two-match Test series against Bangladesh at home. Fast bowler Mohammed Shami may return to the team. Currently he is recovering from his knee injury. If reports are to be believed, the 33-year-old pacer will be fully fit and return to the field before the New Zealand Test series.

India's probable squad for New Zealand-Australia Test series:

Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep , Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami.
