Nabi, Gurnoor, Arshdeep to Stay Back: Kotak

Auqib Nabi, Gurnoor Brar and Arshdeep Singh will stay with India after the ODI series to aid Test preparation for the World Test Championship.

  • On Monday, assistant coach Sitanshu Kotak announced that pace bowlers Auqib Nabi, Gurnoor Brar, and Arshdeep Singh will remain in New Zealand after the ODI series concludes to bolster the Indian Test squad's preparation.
  • This retention supports the squad for the World Test Championship series beginning November 19, following the conclusion of the current five-ODI series against the Black Caps.
  • Test specialists including Shubman Gill and KL Rahul begin a training camp on the 11th, while head coach Gautam Gambhir remains in Tauranga for the final ODIs to manage World Cup duties.
  • Kotak noted that challenging, seaming tracks in New Zealand help prepare players for Test conditions, saying, "In hindsight, it is a good thing because similar conditions can occur in Test matches."
  • Unofficial Test matches between India A-related squads and New Zealand A have given regulars like Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep valuable experience understanding local lengths, positioning the team for the five-day series.
