The BCCI announced India’s 15-member squad for the upcoming Test series against New Zealand on Friday. The star pacer Jasprit Bumrah has been named new vice-captain for India’s Test squad for the three-match series against the Kiwis starting on October 16.

India made no changes to their squad from the recent 2-0 Test win against Bangladesh. Mohammed Shami remains out as he fails to recover from his knee injury while the likes of Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan fail to find a place in India’s star-studded squad.
