Hardik Pandya is one of the big omissions from India’s squad for the World Test Championship final against the Black Caps.
The Black Caps need not do any homework on all-rounder Hardik Pandya or wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav ahead of next month’s World Test Championship final.
That duo were the main omissions of India’s 20-man squad selected on Friday to face New Zealand in the June 18-22 decider in Southampton and the subsequent five-test series against England.
Opening batsman KL Rahul and wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha also face fitness clearances before taking their places, while four players (only one with any international experience) have been named on standby.
