New Zealand's seam-friendly conditions have often challenged visiting batters, particularly those from the subcontinent. The upcoming Test series is also crucial for India’s hopes of reaching the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final. The Men in Blue are currently fifth in the standings with a PCT of 51.520.
"This is interesting. Gill isn't playing India A Tests as he also has to play ODIs. Hence, he is leaving for New Zealand on October 23 or 24. The four to five bowlers accompanying him will have all their expenses paid by Gill," a BCCI official told PTI on condition of anonymity.
Shubman Gill Looks To Improve His Record In New Zealand Conditions
Shubman Gill has never played a Test match in New Zealand. His only previous senior-level appearance in the country came during his ODI debut in 2019, when he managed just 16 runs across two matches at a strike rate of 50.00. He then waited 22 months for his next ODI appearance for India.
The additional sessions will give Gill an opportunity to work on specific aspects of his batting against the moving red ball. This preparation could help him adapt to conditions he has yet to experience in Test cricket.
