Chapman, Foulkes ruled out of India T20Is; Clarkson, Tickner named replacements

New Zealand has announced key changes to their squad ahead of the five-match T20I series against India, with all-rounder Mark Chapman and batter Zakary Foulkes ruled out due to injuries. Chapman suffered a left hamstring tear during a recent European T20 league match and is expected to recover in time for the upcoming ODI series, while Foulkes’ return remains uncertain after a right hip flexor injury sustained in a Canterbury Men’s training session.

The Kiwis have brought in Josh Clarkson and Blair Tickner as replacements, with head coach Rob Walter expressing disappointment for the injured players while welcoming the new additions to the squad. The updated lineup now includes 16 players, led by Mitchell Santner, as New Zealand prepares for what promises to be a competitive series against India.
