The national selection committee, led by interim chief selector Pragyan Ojha, is expected to meet within the next 48 hours to finalize the T20I, ODI, Test, and India A squads. The selectors will have to balance player availability with the need to give Test regulars enough red-ball preparation.
According to the Times of India, the selectors have started discussions about keeping Ishan Kishan ready for Test cricket. However, Ishan Kishan's expected involvement in India’s white-ball squads could prevent him from playing the India A matches in New Zealand.
Test Regulars Set For India A Exposure
Rishabh Pant, who is currently focusing only on Test cricket, is expected to play at least one India A match as part of his preparation for the New Zealand series. KL Rahul, Devdutt Padikkal, and Sai Sudharsan are also expected to feature in at least one four-day fixture.
Jasprit Bumrah's workload is another major issue for the selection committee. The team management wants the fast bowler to increase his bowling workload before the Wellington Test. An India A match remains an option, although a Ranji Trophy appearance has also been discussed.
Mukesh Kumar Back On Selectors' Radar
Mukesh Kumar has returned to the selectors' plans after his impressive Irani Cup performance against Jammu & Kashmir. He is likely to be included in the India A squad, while Akash Deep is also expected to play some matches to build his readiness for the two Tests.
Nitish Kumar Reddy could also be preferred over another spin-bowling all-rounder to provide a better balance to the squad. Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, and Gurnoor Brar are currently the leading options, while Akash Deep, Auqib Nabi, and Mukesh Kumar remain in contention.
