IND vs NZ 2nd Test: After a historic test match won by New Zealand, the eyes will be on the India vs New Zealand 2nd Test starting October 24. Here we are with the Full Squads, Probable Playing11s, Venue, and Pitch Report for the IND vs NZ 2nd Test.

Despite the joy brought by Sarfaraz Khan?s impressive 150 and Rishabh Pant?s electrifying performance, India suffered a bitter defeat, losing the Test match in Bengaluru by eight wickets. This was some team game and performance by the Blackcaps in the Bengaluru test.



Batting first, India recorded the lowest total at home. New Zealand overtook India's 46 without losing a wicket and then summed up a big 1st innings total of over 400 runs.

India's bowling, which usually thrives in home conditions, fell short this time. Rohit Sharma?s selection choices were questionable, and the overall bowling performance was underwhelming, particularly during Tim Southee and Rachin Ravindra's partnership on Day 3.



However, India powered a strong comeback in the first two sessions of Day 4 but the last session saw another middle-order collapse and took the match out of India's palm. New Zealand needed just 107 runs in the second innings to seal the match and the kiwis did something they haven't been able to do since 1988. After 36 years, NZ defeated India in a test match in India and that too by 8 wickets.

Now, both teams will be preparing for the second test of the series. India would try to check a couple of boxes around the playing11 while New Zealand would be looking to be more precise with their plans.



Let's take a look at the Overview, Full Squads, Probable Playing11s, Venue, and Pitch Report for the IND vs NZ 2nd Test.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="match-overview">Match Overview</h2>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ind-vs-nz-2nd-test-full-squads">IND vs NZ 2nd Test Full Squads</h2>



India Squad for 2nd Test: Rohit Sharma (c), Jasprit Bumrah (vc), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant (wk), Dhruv Jurel (wk), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohd. Siraj, Akash Deep, Washington Sundar.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ind-vs-nz-2nd-test-pune-pitch-report">IND vs NZ 2nd Test MCA Stadium, Pune Pitch Report</h2>



Pune's Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium typically offers a favorable surface for batters. However, with a black soil pitch, the ball tends to come onto the bat more slowly. There's a strong possibility of a turning track, especially with India adding Washington Sundar to the squad for the remainder of the series.



Sundar's inclusion suggests a spin-friendly surface, and the black soil will likely enhance the spinners' impact. While batters may enjoy some freedom early in the game, the pitch is expected to favor spin as the match progresses.

Indian assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate has come up with breaking news on Rishabh Pant's recovery from the knee injury and his availability in the IND vs NZ 2nd Test. 



The hosts endured an 8-wicket loss to New Zealand in the 1st Test at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Sunday, October 20. With this dominant win, the Kiwis secured their first Test victory on Indian soil in 36 years, taking a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/10/Matt-Henry-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-148622" /></figure>



Rishabh Pant, the left-handed wicket-keeper batter, pulled an injury in the first test against New Zealand. While keeping wickets, he re-injured the same knee that had undergone surgery after a devastating car accident in December 2022. The near-fatal crash and the resulting injuries forced Pant out of the game for over a year and a half, leaving him sidelined during a critical phase of his career.



Despite the long road to recovery, Pant?s gritty return has been supported by the team management, who are carefully managing his workload to ensure he stays fit. His perseverance through rehabilitation and his determined comeback have been a source of inspiration, as he continues to work his way back to full fitness.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/10/389251-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-148845" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Rishabh Pant hurt his right knee during the third day of the 1st India vs New Zealand Test-Match | Image: Associated Press</figcaption></figure>



Pant injured his knee while keeping wickets on Day 2 of the Test match and had to leave the field. He was unable to keep wickets on Day 3 but returned to bat for India in their second innings. During New Zealand's second innings on Days 4 and 5, Dhruv Jurel replaced Pant again behind the stumps.



Pant played a superb knock of 99 runs in India's second innings, leading a strong fightback after their disastrous first innings, where they were bowled out for just 46 runs. He teamed up with Sarfaraz Khan, who hit his first-ever Test century, to help India recover and put up a much better total of 462 in the second innings.



Pant's fitness remains a key concern as the hosts aim to level the three-match series in the upcoming Test starting Thursday in Pune. Speaking about his recovery, assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate reassured reporters, saying, "Rishabh's pretty good."



"He was having a little bit of discomfort at the end range of his movement with the knee. But fingers crossed he'll be good to keep in this Test as well," he added.

'Rishabh Pant's Recovery on Track' India Hopeful for Pant's Return in 2nd Test

Indian Cricket Team are mulling over the fitness of premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah and wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The fitness reports of both players have been a massive concern for the BCCI as they look to name the team for the tournament. 
Jasprit Bumrah is uncertain to be in the Indian team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because of the back injury that he faced in the last match against Australia, which took place at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney. He has experienced back swelling and has been advised to rest. 
On the other hand, Kuldeep Yadav faced a groin injury during the home Test series against New Zealand. However, after that, he underwent surgery for the same in Germany and has been in the recovery process at the BCCI's National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru. 
There were reports that India has delayed the squad announcement for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 because of this thing only as they are awaiting the fitness report of players. It was also learned that the BCCI will be naming the team on 19th January for the tournament. 
<h2>Jasprit Bumrah advised rest before going to NCA; Kuldeep Yadav to be declared fit by 25th January</h2>
With no clarity over the fitness of Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav, a report in RevSportz has provided a huge update. It is learned that the fast bowler has been advised to take the rest first, and after that, he will be heading to NCA. While the wrist spinner is set to be declared fit by 25th January. 
Earlier, there were reports which suggested that Jasprit Bumrah's injury wasn't that serious. The fast bowler will be named in the Indian squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 but won't be playing the league games. He is expected to be fit by the first week of March and will be playing the knockout games. 
The same report also suggested that Kuldeep Yadav will be picked in the England ODIs. This is because BCCI wants the wrist spinner to be in rhythm. It was learned that if he wasn't deemed fit then there are chances that Varun Chakravarthy might be named in the team.
Kuldeep and Bumrah have been an integral part of the team in the ODIs. They played a massive role for the team in the ICC World Cup 2023 and would be hoping to replicate the same in the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav to miss CT? Massive fitness update arrives

Former Indian cricketers in Sunil Gavaskar and Irfan Pathan named their Indian squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. What caught the attention of many was that they didn't name Axar Patel and instead went in with Nitish Kumar Reddy as the all-rounder in the team. 
Both Sunil Gavaskar and Irfan Pathan backed Rohit Sharma to captain the Indian team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. He will be opening the innings for the team, according to experts, while they pick Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill as two other openers. 
The middle-order batters picked by Sunil Gavaskar and Irfan Pathan in the Indian team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 are Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul. The trio were the backbone of the team in the ICC World Cup 2023 and the main reason why India reached the final. 
While all the talks have been about who will be keeper for the team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Sunil Gavaskar and Irfan Pathan picked both Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson. The latter was picked because of the form that he has shown in the T20Is. 
Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja and Nitish Kumar Reddy made three all-rounders in the team picked by Gavaskar and Pathan for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Axar Patel didn't make the cut, and it was a surprise as of late has been the best performer for the team in the white-ball format. 
According to them, along with Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav will be the second spinner in the team. Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj will be forming the pace department for the team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

The 2nd match of the three-match One-Day International series between the women's teams of Australia and England is set to played on the 14th of January i.e tomorrow at the Junction Oval Cricket Stadium of Melbourne. The hosts secured a comfortable victory in the opening contest by a margin of four wickets and they will be looking to carry forward their winning momentum in the forthcoming contest too. 
England on the other hand, didn't have a good match and lost the encounter by a margin of four wickets. The Heather Knight-led team lost the toss and were asked to bat first by Alyssa Healy and the visitors didn't really perform with the bat, managing to score just 204 runs on the board. 
Skipper Heather Knight's knock of 39 runs and valuable contributions from the duo of Amy Jones (31 runs) and Danny Wyatt-Hodge (38 runs) were the best batting scores of the tourists in the opening encounter. 
In terms of bowling, the Mighty Aussies were absolutely perfect as they inflicted an all-out on England for a score of 204 runs. The trio of Megan Schutt, Annabel Sutherland and Kim Garth took two wickets each while Darcie Brown dismissed a single batter. Off-spinner Ashleigh Gardner was the best Aussie bowler as she ended the game figures of 3-19 in 6.1 overs.
The target of 205 runs looked like a walk in the park for the Australians but the English women had some other plans and they created a lot of difficulties for the home team, managing to dismiss six of their batters. But in the end, skipper Healy's brilliant 70 runs knock and Ashleigh Gardner's contribution of 42 runs proved to be more than enough to help the Aussies seal the victory. 
Talking about the bowling performance of the visitors, the duo of Sophie Ecclestone and Lauren Filer picked up two scalps a piece while Charlie Dean &amp; Lauren Bell ended the game with one wicket next to their name.

The India squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is keeping many engaged. The deadline given by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for the squad announcement was on Sunday (12th January), and it has passed with no signs of the Indian team. 
Earlier, there were reports that BCCI had asked for extra time from the ICC as they needed to discuss the team, especially after they returned after the hectic Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. However, this isn't the exact reason why they haven't announced the squad. 
The real reason behind that, as revealed by Dainik Jagran, is that BCCI is awaiting the fitness report of the two key players Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav. The two players have been injured, and there are a lot of speculations about their fitness for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
Bumrah got injured during the Sydney Test and has been suffering from the back spasms. There have been various reports that revealed that the pacer might miss the league stage of the tournament and will be back to 100% fitness by the start of March. 
Kuldeep Yadav, on the other hand, has been recovering from the surgery he underwent for a groin injury. The leg-spinner is awaiting fitness reports, which might come by the end of this month. The wrist spinner is likely to be picked in the Indian team for England series before the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 as well. 
<h2>The Indian squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is all set to be announced on 19th January</h2>
The Indian squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is all set to be announced on 19th January. The BCCI vice-president, Rajiv Shukla, confirmed this after the Special General Meeting of the BCCI, which took place on Sunday (12th January). 
BCCI has also identified some of the key players that will be playing in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Skipper Rohit Sharma will be leading the team, and there are chances that young players Yashasvi Jaiswal, Washington Sundar, Varun Chakravarthy, Arshdeep Singh, and others might get a nod ahead. 
India is placed in Group A of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. They will be first taking on Bangladesh, Pakistan and New Zealand in the tournament.

In what has been the latest development as per the reports in Dainik Jagran, it is learned that Rohit Sharma is all set to play his last international game during the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The skipper no longer seems to be in plans for the future. 
The BCCI review meeting, which took place recently in Mumbai, saw some harsh discussions between the officials along with selector Ajit Agarkar, head coach Gautam Gambhir and skipper Rohit Sharma. The future of the team was the major talking point, and the place of the captain, too, was discussed. 
Rohit Sharma agreed to lead the team till the BCCI finds a suitable successor for him. The India captain has been asked to continue in the role till the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 as BCCI doesn't want to disrupt the team heading into the big tournament like CT. 
The reports in Dainik Jagran claimed that Rohit Sharma doesn't seem to be in the plans of selectors for Test cricket anymore now, and this will take a toll on his white-ball career as well. Hence, he has been asked the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be his last assignment in international cricket. 
<h2>Jasprit Bumrah will be taking over the captaincy of the team in the ODIs and Tests</h2>
The reports claimed that Jasprit Bumrah will be taking over the captaincy of the team in the ODIs and Tests, and there will also be a strong vice-captain as well. This is because if the pacer gets rested for workload management, then the vice-captain should take over, just like how things pan out in Australian cricket. 
A source close to BCCI talked about the possibility of Rohit Sharma going to England for a Test series. He said "the possibility of Rohit going to England for five test matches is very less." 
When Rohit Sharma opted out of the fifth Test against Australia in Sydney he said: "I'm not going anywhere." But after the review meeting of the BCCI, things seem to be pretty tough for him. All will depend on how he will be performing in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
