Ishwar Pandey picked up for the tour of New Zealand

Ishwar Pandey

Ishwar Pandey has been selected in the ODI as well as the test squad for the upcoming tour of New Zealand. Along with him, Varun Aaron and Stuart Binny are the other two inclusions in the test squad.

                                           

Yuvraj Singh has been dropped from the ODI squad due to his disastrous form which was depicted in the series against Australia at home and in South Africa. Pragyan Ojha has been excluded from the test squad.

                                

India will look for improving their disastrous overseas record when they meet against the Kiwis. The last time they were there, the visitors won both the ODI and the test series. But now it's a complete different challenge as they are without their experienced little master.

The one day series starts from 19th January while the test series begins from 6th February.
