Rachin Ravindra, Devon Conway, Tom Blundell Named In New Zealand Squad For India Tests

New Zealand have named a 14-member squad for the upcoming two-Test series against India, with Rachin Ravindra, Devon Conway and Tom Blundell included despite recovering from injuries.

Captain Tom Latham will lead the Black Caps in the series, which begins in Wellington on November 19. The second Test will be played in Christchurch from November 27. Blundell is recovering from a quadriceps injury, Conway from a concussion and Ravindra from a shoulder injury.

Jacob Duffy has also returned to the squad, which largely retains the core group that toured England earlier this year. The series will be crucial for both teams as they look to strengthen their positions in the ICC World Test Championship standings.

New Zealand squad: Tom Latham (C), Tom Blundell, Devon Conway, Jacob Duffy, Matt Henry, Kyle Jamieson, Daryl Mitchell, Henry Nicholls, Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra, Mitchell Santner, Nathan Smith, Blair Tickner and Will Young.
