Shami Fails To Find Place, Bumrah Named Vice-captain For New Zealand Test Series (Ld)
IDFC FIRST Bank Test: Seasoned pacer Mohd Shami failed to find a place in the Indian Test squad for the upcoming three-match series against New Zealand with the national selectors deciding to hand over the vice-captaincy to pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah. The selectors decided to drop left-arm pacer Yash Dayal from the squad that played the two-match series against Bangladesh as they picked 15 players for the New Zealand series.
"The Men's Selection Committee has picked India's 15-member squad for the upcoming three-match IDFC FIRST Bank Test series against New Zealand," BCCI secretary Jay Shah informed in a release on Friday. The three matches will be played in Bengaluru (Oct 16-20), Pune (Oct 24-28) and Mumbai (Nov 1-5).
Bumrah, who led India against England in the Birmingham Test in 2022, has been made Rohit Sharma's deputy as the selectors seem keen on making him the stand-in skipper in case the regular one is unavailable because of some reason. The selectors had not named any vice-captain for the Bangladesh series and Bumrah's elevation is apparently part of their plans for the upcoming five-match series against Australia.
