The national selectors are set to rest a few of the regular players for the two-Test series against New Zealand at home, owing to bubble fatigue and strain. It has been learned that India’s Test team for the series would be named in the next day or two. According to the Times of India, some of the world’s top fast bowlers, including Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, and Shardul Thakur, are expected to rest their aching legs.
Rishabh Pant, the wicketkeeper-batsman who has been a regular in the selection in recent forms, will also miss the New Zealand series to get some much-needed time away from the biosphere. The Test team’s captain has yet to be picked by the selectors. Kohli, the Test team’s regular captain, has been absent for quite some time. As a result, he’ll be unlikely to play in the New Zealand Test series. So far, the Test team has been led by his replacement. However, Rahane’s recent form has been poor, and the equations have shifted even since Rohit was named T20 skipper. The Test team’s captaincy has been thrown into disarray as a result.

The captaincy of India’s Test team has also been impacted as a result of this. Because, after winning the historic series against Australia last year under his leadership, India has been deafeningly quiet. The 4th Test against England and the World Test Championship did not go well for Rahane. His position in Playing-11 has been questioned since then. Coach Rahul Dravid‘s thoughts on the new captain are equally important to the selection. The selectors will benefit from Dravid’s attitude. According to rumours, the Test lineup (India versus New Zealand) would be chosen on Friday, and in the absence of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma may be asked to captain the team instead of staying undefeated.
