  "account": "AUCKLAND, New Zealand: Rachin Ravindra and Mark Chapman have been included in New Zealand's squad for their home One-Day International series against India, following an injury setback. Coach Rob Walter announced an expanded squad of 21 players for the five ODI matches in November, which follows five Twenty20 internationals. Only six players will play the whole series, including captain Mitchell Santner, while eight others will participate in the first three games before taking a break to prepare for the two final ODIs. Ravindra is out of the T20s after dislocating his shoulder while diving to catch a ball during a promotional event last month. Chapman, meanwhile, is sidelined with a hamstring injury. New players Finn Allen, Tim Seifert, and Lockie Ferguson are set to return for the last two ODIs, as they primarily focus on professional T20 leagues and have not represented New Zealand in the 50-over format in the past 18 months. Walter highlighted the opportunity for these players to prove themselves in the longer format, as the ODI series would be a chance for them to push for selection at the upcoming World Cup.",
