New Zealand Pick Allen, Ferguson, Seifert for India ODIs, Ravindra Returns

  • On Sunday, New Zealand Cricket announced squads for the five-match ODI series against India beginning November 4, with captain Mitchell Santner leading the team. Finn Allen, Lockie Ferguson, and Tim Seifert return for the final two matches.
  • Head coach Rob Walter designed the squad split to assess 21 players across the series while allowing Test-focused stars to prepare early for the ICC World Test Championship series beginning November 19 at the Basin Reserve.
  • Rachin Ravindra returns for the first three matches after recovering from a shoulder injury. Allen, Ferguson, and Seifert rejoin the 50-over format, having last appeared in 2023 or 18 months ago respectively.
  • The series structure divides players into two phases, with a full-strength side competing in the first three games before Test players depart for preparation. This arrangement protects the two-match Test series following the ODI leg.
  • With the ODI World Cup one year away, head coach Walter noted these matches serve as crucial preparation. New Zealand aims to build on their 2-1 bilateral series victory over India earlier this year.
