There is not much reshuffle in India's limited overs squad for the upcoming 6-week tour of New Zealand. The only change in which all-rounder Hardik Pandya could be included, but he has failed the mandatory fitness test. The Wakahin Indian team will play five T20 Internationals, three One-Day and two Test matches in the tour starting on January 24. The team for this tour will be selected on Sunday. With the T20 World Cup to be played in Australia hosting this year, the main focus of the selectors will be on the selection of players important for white ball cricket. The selection of the players of the T20 team playing in the recently concluded series against Sri Lanka is certain.
The road is difficult for Jadhav: It is said that it will be interesting to see whether one-day team and T20 team will be the same or not. The weakest link in the one-day team is Kedar Jadhav, who despite pressure, retains his place in the 50-over team. Jadhav's technical flaws may come to light in New Zealand and he may be dropped from the team in view of not playing much overs in recent times. If the tour of India A team is also happening along with the senior team's tour, then the selectors will have the option to include the players immediately if needed.
Rahul-Gill in reserve opener race: For your information, let us tell you that Ajinkya Rahane can return if the team sees the aspect of technical strength, but if it is not so then Mumbai's Surya Kumar Yadav's aggressive batting Given the fifth or sixth place can be seen as an alternative. Both Surya and Sanju Samson are included in the A team. Everyone's eyes are set on these players.
