Speaking of his recent performances, Shaw has scored three half-centuries and two centuries in the last 10 T20 matches he played in the Indian domestic circuit.

Discussing a bit more about India’s tour of New Zealand, the men in blue will play this series against the Kiwis just after five days after the conclusion of the ongoing 20-20 World Cup 2022. In a line of changes once again, star all-rounder Hardik Pandya is all set to lead the team once again after his successful assignment a few months back in June against Ireland. In that series, Pandya’s men registered a clean-sweep victory by a margin of 2-0 against the Irish team. Apart from that, young wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant will be there to fulfill the responsibilities of Vice-Captain.

Young pace bowling sensation Umran Malik will also be part of schemes in the Indian squad for his white-ball assignment against New Zealand. Malik impressed and stunned everyone with his stellar performances in the 2022 edition of the Indian T20 League.

He also played under Hardik’s captaincy on India’s tour against Ireland for two T20Is played in the month of June.

In another line of changes, star wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson is also set to feature in the roster for the three-match series in the shortest format of the game. The Indian cricket fans were not happy when selectors happened to ignore him from the squad of India for the 20-20 World Cup 2022.

Hardik Pandya (C), Rishabh Pant (VC & wk), Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan, Deepak Hooda, Surya Kumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson (wk), W Sundar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Harshal Patel, Mohd. Siraj, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umran Malik.
