New Zealand ODI squad for India series: Santner to lead strong team, Rachin returns

The New Zealand ODI squad for their upcoming series against India has been announced, with Mitchell Santner leading a full-strength team. This series, which begins with five T20Is from October 22, serves as a crucial preparation phase for the 2027 World Cup. Coach Rob Walter emphasized the importance of these matches, both as a chance to face a formidable Indian side in front of home crowds and as valuable preparation for the upcoming World Cup.

Notably, Rachin Ravindra returns to the ODI squad after a freak injury sustained during a promotional ad shoot. The squad for the first three ODIs includes Santner, along with key players such as Michael Bracewell, Mark Chapman, and Rachin Ravindra.
