The T20 series is to begin from January 24 between #IndiavsNewZealand, while the first ODI of the 3-match series will be played on 5 February. And the matches of the Test Championships will start on February 21. The announcement of the Indian T20 team has already taken place long before. But the announcement of the team for ODI and Test matches, which was to be held on Sunday, has been postponed. It is being said that this meeting, to be held on January 19, has been postponed for the next time, given the fitness status of #HardikPandya.
Let me tell you that Hardik Pandya was first selected in the India a team on the #NewZealandtour. But before filling up for the tour, he had a fitness test in #nca where it was found that his bowling lacks some control and bowling. During this, they were not fully feeling comfortable. Due to which his name was removed from India and sent to Vijay Shankar. According to the reports, he was given some more time to work on his fitness so that Pandya would remain fully fit when the team was selected for the ODI and Test matches to be held in New Zealand. But this meeting to be held on Sunday for the selection of the team was postponed because the National Cricket Academy has not yet declared Pandyafit.
The biggest reason behind Hardik Pandya return to the team is the #T20WorldCup which is scheduled to start in October in Australia. In the absence of #MSDhoni, Pandya is being seen in the role of T20 finisher. And the team wants the World Cup First they played some international matches. Also, the conditions in New Zealand provide more help to fast bowlers. So instead of two spinners in ODIs and Test matches, the Indian team wants to come down with a spinner and a fast bowler all-rounder and 3 major fast bowlers. This is also why Pandya return is essential for the Indian team. Apart from Hardik, there is no other best fast bowler all-rounder in India.
Hardik return in Test matches is also necessary because the Test Championship is going on. And India will not want to lose the number 1 position which has been held with 7 wins in the last 7 matches. Winds in New Zealand are very fast due to which fast bowlers get more profit. Therefore, the Indian team wants to include Pandya in the place of Jadeja. So that the team can get the benefit of the situation.
It is also getting news that now the announcement of One Day and Test team will not be made by the new selection committee but by Purani. From the 5-member selection committee, the team will be announced only after the appointment of 2 new selectors in place of the chief selector, #mskPrasad and #GaganKhoda.
