Cricket fans woke up to a reshuffled Indian squad for the New Zealand T20I series after Washington Sundar was forced to withdraw with a side strain. The BCCI’s medical team diagnosed the issue promptly, paving the way for Shreyas Iyer and Ravi Bishnoi to join the 18-member group. Sundar’s injury rules him out of all five T20Is from November 18 to 30. Iyer, absent from T20Is for a while, rejoins with a point to prove. Bishnoi, the young leg-spinner, earns a recall on the back of impressive domestic wickets. His unorthodox variations could trouble Kiwi batters on bouncy tracks. The updated squad retains firepower with Suryakumar Yadav at the helm, supported by pacers Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Siraj.
