IND vs NZ: New Zealand squad for the T20I and ODI series against India announced

The New Zealand Cricket Team have announced their squad for the white-ball series against ODIs and T20Is. The Black Caps have named full strength side for the T20I, but some of the names are missing from the 50-over format.

The New Zealand tour to India will begin with the three-match ODI series from January 11 to January 18. After that, the T20Is will be played on 21, 23, 25, 28, and 31 January across five different venues. This series will be played ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026, which will begin on February 7.

Michael Bracewell will captain New Zealand in the ODIs against India in the absence of captain Mitchell Santner. Also, Kane Williamson has been dropped as well as he will be playing in the SA20 instead of playing in India. 

Daryl Mitchell, Henry Nicholls, Glenn Phillips and Will Young have retained their place in the team.  The pace department features  Zak Foulkes and Kyle Jamieson as it is a relatively young team.

In the T20Is, New Zealand will see all the frontline players. This is because the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 will begin just after the series all the players would want to get into the groove. Santner will lead the side and will see the likes of Devon Conway, Daryl Mitchell, James Neesham, Glenn Phillips and Rachin Ravindra in the squad.
