Team India has to play a Test series against New Zealand from 16th October and this series is very special for the Indian team. The BCCI management has announced a 15-member team for this series and along with this, the New Zealand team has also been announced under the captaincy of Tom Latham.

Big information has come out before the first match of this Test series and according to this, many big players can be given a chance in the playing 11 by the management of Team India. Along with this, two strong players of Team India can be given rest.

Sarfaraz Khan

On October 16, Team India will take the field to play the first match of the Test series against New Zealand and preparations are already being made for it. If media reports are to be believed, the management may give a chance to Akshar Patel and Sarfaraz Khan in the playing 11 of this match.

Both these players last participated in the series against England and the performance of both the players in this series was very excellent. But due to maintaining the balance of the team, both these players have failed to make it to the playing 11 in the last few matches.

These 2 players may be out of Team India

It is very difficult for two senior players to get a chance in the playing 11 that will be announced by the management of Team India for the first match of the Test series against New Zealand. According to media reports, middle order batsman KL Rahul and fast bowler Mohammad Siraj can be shown the way out from the playing 11 of this match by the management. The reasoning behind removing Mohammed Siraj from the playing 11 is that an additional spinner will be needed on the spin-friendly pitch of Bengaluru.
