Allen, Ferguson, Seifert picked for India ODIs; Ravindra returns from injury

The selectors named a split squad for the five ODIs because some of the players will head to Wellington after the third ODI to prepare for the upcoming Tests

New Zealand have named a 21-player squad for their five one-day internationals against India, with some players to be rotated in and out of the team. The squad is being split because some players will leave after the third ODI to prepare for the upcoming Tests against India.

Rachin Ravindra and Mark Chapman have been included in the squad after missing the preceding Twenty20 clashes due to injury. Ravindra dislocated his shoulder while Chapman has a hamstring injury.

Finn Allen, Tim Seifert, and Lockie Ferguson are among those joining for the last two ODIs, having not represented New Zealand in the 50-over format in the last 18 months. According to New Straits Times, coach Rob Walter said the ODI series would be a chance for players to push for selection at next year's World Cup.
