Prasidh Krishna doubtful for New Zealand ODIs, simulation tests set for November 1 and 2

Fast bowler Prasidh Krishna faces mounting uncertainty regarding his participation in the upcoming one-day international series against New Zealand after failing to secure immediate clearance from the Centre of Excellence. The thirty-year-old athlete suffered a hamstring injury during a match against the West Indies on September thirty and has undertaken rehabilitation under medical supervision since that time, including an initial evaluation on October twenty-two.

Because subsequent match simulations are scheduled for November one and two, his availability for the opening fixture in Auckland appears highly improbable.

Selectors initially named the paceman conditionally for three matches when the squad was announced on October sixteen, though he was excluded from the final two encounters of that format. Leadership figures including Gautam Gambhir and Shubman Gill prioritize his availability for the subsequent Test series due to its importance for World Test Championship qualification.

Consequently, team management might avoid fielding him during the shorter matches even if he obtains partial medical clearance beforehand.
