Apart from this, Mark Chapman has been included in the team, who has become a part of the Test team squad for the first time.
In the team announced by New Zealand for the three-match Test series against India, Michael Bracewell will be available for selection only in the first match, after which he will return to the country for the birth of his second child. Leg spinner Ish Sodhi will be a part of the team for the second and third Test matches. Kane Williamson has not yet recovered from his groin injury, due to which there is suspense over his playing in the first Test match.
