Bumrah named Indian vice-captain for Tests against NZ

Bumrah named Indian vice-captain for Tests against NZ

India’s pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah will act as deputy to Rohit Sharma for their three-match home Test series against New Zealand starting next week.

Bumrah’s appointment was announced by the Board of Control for Cricket in India when they named a 15-member squad late on Friday (Saturday AEDT).

Bowlers Mohammed Shami and Yash Dayal are the notable absentees in the spin-heavy squad, which includes Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav.

Shami continues to be out of the side as he recovers from ankle surgery. The 34-year-old has not played since the 2023 World Cup, but India’s pace attack will be led by Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj.

The series begins in Bengaluru on October 16, followed by Tests in Pune and Mumbai.

INDIA SQUAD:

Rohit Sharma (c), Jasprit Bumrah (vc), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant (wk), Dhruv Jurel (wk), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep

Travelling reserves: Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Mayank Yadav, Prasidh Krishna
