Auqib Nabi added to India squad for first three New Zealand ODIs
India added fast bowler Auqib Nabi to its squad for the first three one-day internationals against New Zealand.
Nabi had already been selected for the series’ fourth and fifth matches, so he is now in the squad for all five.
Prasidh Krishna was ruled out because he has not recovered from a hamstring injury.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India said Krishna needs more time to build up his workload before he can return to competitive matches.
Nabi’s addition fills a place in India’s bowling group for the opening matches.
The updated squads include other changes between the first three games and the final two, with Shreyas Iyer captaining the latter.
The sources do not give a date for Krishna’s return.
