India ODI and Test captain Shubman Gill stated that he would have preferred T20Is to be scheduled between the ODIs and Test matches on the tour of New Zealand, allowing the Indian team to field full-strength squads for the last two ODIs of the five-match series while giving them enough time to prepare for a crucial two-match Test series.
Team India captain Shubman Gill has said that the ODI series against New Zealand should have been held first, followed by the T20 matches and finally the Test matches, so that they could have entered the field with full strength.
