Siraj returns for India's crucial ODI clash vs NZ
7 Nov
Summary
- Mohammed Siraj is available for selection in the second ODI.
- Matt Henry has been declared fit and available for New Zealand.
- Both teams may make bowling changes for the upcoming match.
Pacer Mohammed Siraj is set to be available for selection as Shubman Gill's Team India faces New Zealand in the second ODI at Hnry Stadium in Wellington. Siraj, who was rested for the first ODI after representing India 'A', brings valuable experience with 77 wickets in 51 matches. His potential inclusion could replace Auqib Nabi, who was wicketless in the first game.
New Zealand also anticipates a bowling boost with pacer Matt Henry declared fit. Henry's availability might lead to a change in their lineup, potentially replacing Jacob Duffy. This comes after Devon Conway was ruled out of the series due to concussion, replaced by Nick Kelly.
Both Indian batters Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill will aim for better performances after disappointing outings in the first ODI. Gill, in particular, has an impressive record since 2022, scoring the most runs in ODIs during that period.
