New Zealand revise squad for T20Is against India after Mark Chapman and Zak Foulkes get ruled out due to injuries

New Zealand’s T20I squad for their upcoming five-match series against India has undergone last-minute changes after injuries ruled out key players Mark Chapman and Zak Foulkes. Chapman, sidelined with a left hamstring tear suffered during the European T20 Premier League, will miss the series but remains available for the subsequent five ODIs.

Foulkes, who injured his right hip flexor in a recent training session, faces an uncertain return timeline, leaving his availability for future matches in doubt. In their place, all-rounder Josh Clarkson and fast bowler Blair Tickner have been added to the squad, with coach Rob Walter expressing gratitude for their contributions and excitement ahead of what promises to be a high-stakes series.

The Blackcaps, led by Mitchell Santner, will look to bounce back after India’s T20 World Cup victory earlier this year, with the series kicking off on October 22 across multiple New Zealand cities. Following the T20Is, the teams will also compete in five ODIs and two Tests, marking one of the longest tours by India in recent memory.
