Umran Malik Returns For India’s New Zealand Tour; Hardik Pandya To Lead In T20Is

As part of workload management of players, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, opener KL Rahul, keeper-batter Dinesh Karthik, and veteran off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin have all been rested for the New Zealand tour.
Rohit will return to lead the team in the ODI and Test series against Bangladesh. Kohli and Ashwin will both return to the squad for the Bangladesh tour, which will include three one-day internationals and two tests beginning December 4.
Ravindra Jadeja, who was ruled out of the ongoing T20 World Cup due to a knee injury sustained during the Asia Cup, will also play against Bangladesh.
Nobody requested a break. All decisions are part of the player workload management. We have medical team reports on who to rest when and how to manage them During a virtual media interaction, Chetan stated.
When asked about Karthik’s future after his poor performance in the first three T20 World Cup matches and now that he has been rested for the New Zealand tour, Chetan insisted that the Tamil Nadu batter’s career is not over.
The World Cup will be over in a few days, so we must decide who will be rested. Kartik has been performing and is currently available to us. But this time, we simply decided to try a different set of players after the World Cup said the chief selector.
Karthik suffered a back injury in India’s last match against South Africa and is a doubt for Wednesday’s match against Bangladesh. The ODI series will begin on November 25 in Auckland, with matches on November 27 in Hamilton and November 30 in Auckland (Christchurch).
India will begin its tour of Bangladesh with three one-day internationals (ODIs) in Dhaka on December 4, 7, and 10, followed by two Test matches in Chattogram (December 14-18) and Dhaka (December 22-26).
However, pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, who missed the T20 World Cup due to a stress fracture in his back, has not been selected for the two tours because he is still recovering from his injury and the selectors do not want to rush his return.
We must manage the players. We must examine player workload management and take it very seriously. The NCA (National Cricket Academy) medical team is taking excellent care of him (Bumrah) When asked about the pacer, Sharma said
He will undoubtedly play against Australia, but we did not want to rush his return against Bangladesh. He will return soon. Australia will visit India for four Tests and three One-Day Internationals in February and March of next year.
