New Zealand has recalled Finn Allen, Lockie Ferguson, and Tim Seifert to their one-day international (ODI) squad for the upcoming series against India. Rachin Ravindra will also return from a shoulder injury for the first three matches, as reported by Telangana Today.
The five-match ODI series is set to begin on November 4 at Eden Park in Auckland. New Zealand is preparing for the 2027 World Cup.
White-ball captain Mitchell Santner will lead the extended squad. New Zealand aims to balance their ODI commitments with preparations for the subsequent Test series against India.
Allen and Ferguson last played an ODI in 2023, with Ferguson’s most recent appearance coming in the semi-final of the ICC Cricket World Cup against India in Mumbai, Telangana Today stated.
Following their historic 2-1 series victory in India in January, New Zealand views this series as an opportunity to build on their strong performance.
This series will be of interest to cricket fans in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, as it features a competitive contest between strong teams as part of their World Cup preparations.
