Nz vs pak: The Indian Premier League 2025 is currently being played in India, in which many veteran Kiwi players including New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner are participating. This is the reason that many experienced players of Black Caps were not seen playing in the first T20I series and now the ODI series against Pakistan. Now the Black Caps Cricket Board has announced a 13 -member team (NZ vs pak) for the three -match ODI series against Pakistan, including Indian and Pakistani -origin players.

Indian player will represent New Zealand

New Zealand (NZ vs Pak) youth leg -spinner and Bharatvanshi Aditya Ashok has been included in the 13 -member team for the ODI series against Pakistan. Earlier, he got a chance to play two ODIs and a T20 match against Bangladesh. But after this he did not get a place in the national team again. However, he has taken a wicket in ODIs so far. Please tell that Aditya Ashoka was born in Vellore, Tamil Nadu.

But at the age of four, he moved to New Zealand (NZ vs Pak) with the whole family. He will now be seen representing black caps in the ODI series against Pakistan from 29 March.

Pakistani player gets a chance

Unaccapted Mohammad Abbaz, who belongs to India's neighboring country Pakistan, has also been included in the Kiwi party. Mohammad Abbaz's father Azhar Abbaz was a medium -speed fast bowler who has played in Pakistan's domestic cricket from 1994/95 to 2003/04 but never got a chance to play in the national team.

Now his son is going to debut for New Zealand (NZ vs Pak), that too against his country's team Pakistan.
