India pacer ruled out of New Zealand ODIs, Auqib Nabi in contention for call-up

Fast bowler Prasidh Krishna will sit out the upcoming five-match one-day international series against New Zealand as he continues his recovery from a hamstring problem sustained during a previous home assignment against the West Indies. Selectors are considering Auqib Nabi as a replacement following the Jammu and Kashmir speedster's promising performance during India A's overseas fixtures.

Team management aims to have Prasidh fully prepared for the red-ball matches instead, scheduling fitness evaluations in Bengaluru. Meanwhile, the wider bowling attack will feature limited prior experience, with Jasprit Bumrah rested from the fifty-over fixtures to focus entirely on the longer format.
