Christchurch, Dec 24: New Zealand have named their squads for the upcoming three-match One Day International (ODI) and five-match Twenty20 International (T20I) series against India scheduled to begin on January 11, 2026 in India. The tour is part of preparation for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, which will be held in India and Sri Lanka.
A notable omission is former captain Kane Williamson, who will not be part of the tour, as New Zealand manage workloads and other commitments.
For the ODIs, Michael Bracewell has been named captain, while Mitchell Santner, returning from injury, will lead the T20I side. Several senior players such as Jamieson, Chapman, Conway, and Glenn Phillips are included.
The series will offer New Zealand valuable experience in subcontinental conditions ahead of the global tournament.
