IND vs BAN: Members of team India are currently stationed in New Zealand and are busy playing against Kane Williamson and his men. With the T20 World Cup that concluded recently, the focus has now shifted towards the One Day Internationals (ODIs). The Indian team led by Shikhar Dhawan will play their first match at Auckland on November 25, 2022. Just before the match, the entire team got together and trained to prepare themselves for the clash that is to follow in two days.
After the Kiwi challenge ends, the Indian team will travel to Bangladesh for a three-match ODI series and two-match Test series over one month. Rohit Sharma will lead the team in both series. Ahead of India's tour to their neighbouring country Bangladesh, they have been jolted by a major blow. Their marquee all-rounder, Ravindra Jadeja has been ruled out of the entire series. Jadeja has been plagued with a few injury issues this year and he missed out on the all-important T20 World Cup. He was expected to be fully fit and return to India's scheme of things before the Bangladesh tour, but things certainly did not go as per plan.
Jadeja had picked up a knee injury after India's tour to England and underwent surgery in September. The Indian team management feels that Jadeja is yet to recover and will need some more time to regain full fitness. Jadeja's replacement for the ODI series is yet to be announced.
