IND vs NZ: 5 Senior Indian Players Who Might Miss The Test Series

Virat Kohli:

Virat Kohli has had a big workload in recent times with the England tour, and the IPL 2021 and is currently leading the Indian side in the T20 World cup 2021 as well. He will be eyeing a break from international cricket for a couple of weeks to prepare for the upcoming series in South Africa.

Kohli has been a sensational performer for India in all the formats and he has recently stepped down as India’s T20I captain to give a bit of time on his personal issues as well.

Rohit Sharma:

Rohit Sharma has been playing continuous cricket for the last three months and it won’t be a surprise if opts to take a break from the international assignment in the series against New Zealand. The Mumbai opener is one of the important batters in the lineup and has contributed a lot to India’s success.

Rohit is 34 now and with him playing all the formats, it is very crucial to rest the Indian batter considering he has a lot to offer in the future.

Jasprit Bumrah:

Jasprit Bumrah has been India’s leader of the bowling attack and he was constantly among the wickets in the recent test tour of England. He has been the go-to man for Virat Kohli in all the formats and he should, in fact, take a rest in the New Zealand series to be fresh for the South Africa tour.

India has a lot of pacers in the armoury and they can afford to rest Bumrah for the test series against New Zealand which is highly likely to happen as well.

Mohammed Shami:

Mohammed Shami is another name that will have to be handled carefully as he has become a regular feature for India in all formats. Shami’s pace has dropped a bit after playing a lot of games continuously for the country as well or for his franchise in IPL.

He is one of the most impressive seam bowlers going around and he can have a big impact on India in the South Africa tour. Considering his workload, he should be rested for the South Africa tour.

Ishant Sharma:

Ishant Sharma has faced some niggles in the previous tour of England and had to miss out few games as well. Despite him playing just the one format for the country, Ishant has looked tired and is not at his best rhythm. He is not getting any younger and for a big lad like him, injuries are a regular feature.

Ishant has a big role to play in the test bowling attack and he has immense experience in the South Africa tours before. He is likely to be rested for the New Zealand series to prepare for the next tour.
