T20 World Cup 2021: In a bizarre incident, New Zealand?s stumper batsman Devon Conway has sustained a right-hand fracture after he struck his bat out of frustration following his dismissal in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 1st semi-final against England. The kiwi player is subsequently ruled out of the final of the T20 World Cup against Australia and for the India tour as well which comprise three T20Is and two test matches.



Conway held onto the crease after New Zealand were two down in the initial overs of the match and scored crucial 46 runs before he got dismissed.



New Zealand cricket in a statement said that Conway was taken for scans after he hit his bat out of frustration and it revealed a fracture in the right-hand fifth metacarpal.



"Conway sustained the injury when he struck his bat immediately after being dismissed in semifinal win over England in Abu Dhabi - with an X-ray today confirming a break to his right hand fifth metacarpal," said New Zealand Cricket in a statement.



?"He's absolutely gutted to be ruled out like this at this time," head coach Gary Stead said. "Devon is hugely passionate about playing for the BLACKCAPS and no one is more disappointed at the moment than he is - so we're really trying to rally around him.

Stead further said that Conway hit the bat out of frustration of getting out before completing the job for Black Caps against England.



"It looked a pretty innocuous reactionary incident on the field, but the blow obviously caught the bat between the glove padding and while it's not the smartest thing he's done there's certainly an element of bad luck in the injury.



New Zealand is not looking to announce any replacement for the star cricketer for the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 final and for the T20I series against India. However, they are certainly looking to have one for the test series.

BCCI announce India?s Test squad for New Zealand tour to India 2021.



IndiaVSNewZealand: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Friday released a 16-men strong Indian red-ball squad for New Zealand?s tour to India for two matches test series.



Ajinkya Rahane, the regular vice-captain of the red-ball team, will lead the side in the first test match. Virat Kohli will continue to be on rest during the first test match. He will make a comeback in the side in the second test and will take over the leadership roles from Rahane.



?Virat Kohli will join the squad for the second Test and will lead the team,? BCCI secretary Jay Shah said in a statement.



T20I skipper Rohit Sharma, pacer Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Shami and stumper batsman Rishabh Pant are given match off for the test series after multiple complaints of bubble fatigue have emerged.?

Shreyas Iyer, Shubman Gill and Jayant Yadav have made a comeback. Shubman Gill was injured during India?s tour to England for five Test matches and was ruled out for the entire series. KL Rahul took over his place in the opening slot with Rohit Sharma in the England vs India test series.



The biggest absentee in the test squad that has caught the flame over social media is middle-order batsman Hanuma Vihari. The Indian selectors overlooked the cricketer, though, he is completely fit to play the matches. Later, BCCI informed that Vihari has been added to India A squad for the South Africa tour.

"We are sending Vihari to South Africa for the A series and his performance in the three 'A Test' matches will be monitored," a senior BCCI functionary confirmed the development to PTI.



Wriddhiman Saha will be the first choice wicketkeeper in the absence of flamboyant Rishabh Pant. While KS Bharat has been kept as his backup.&nbsp;



The pace attack will be spearheaded by Ishant Sharma having Umesh Yadav, Mohammad Siraj and Prasidh Krishna as his soldiers.

India vs New Zealand: The second T20I match between India and New Zealand that is all set to be played in Ranchi?s JSCA Stadium on 19th November could be postponed if Jharkhand High Court puts a stay on the match. As per the reports, Dheeraj Kumar, an advocate, has filed a petition for the postponement of the clash.



Kumar in his PIL says the T20I match doesn?t go as per the rules of the government. He has raised questions over the special exemptions granted to JSCA Stadium officials to operate on 100 per cent capacity during the international match.



He further said that either the match should be postponed or the stadium should be asked to operate on 50 per cent crowd capacity, similar to the other public gathering places.



Jharkhand government has ordered temples, courts and other offices to operate on 50 per cent occupancy owing to the issues related to covid-19.?

Notably, the stadium was earlier permitted to run with a 50 per cent crowd, however, the decision was soon reversed as the government gave a green signal for a houseful match.



Team India is currently leading in the three matches T20I series with 1-0 after the win from the last match in Jaipur. Rohit Sharma and Co registered a good win to start the series against the kiwis by five wickets.



Though it was a complete team effort, notable performances from India were Rohit Sharma (48 runs), Suryakumar Yadav (62 runs), Bhuvneshwar Kumar (2 wickets) and R Ashwin (2 wickets).

India vs New Zealand 3rd T20I: After bossing the visitors (New Zealand) in the first two T20Is of the three-match series, India have bagged the shortest format series in the very second game itself. The final T20I match between India and New Zealand is scheduled to be played in the iconic Eden Gardens, Kolkata on 21st November.



Two back to back drubbings against India pushed the Kiwis towards the end of the tunnel as the series is now a dead rubber. Whether they win or lose, the series will go to India.



With no pressure of winning the match, India can opt to give opportunities to the bench they have with an aim to test players position for the next T20 World Cup. In the two matches, two debuts were made from the Indian side. Venkatesh Iyer made his debut in the first match while Harshal Patel was given his T20I cap in the second. We might see a few more T20I caps in today?s match.

India?s Predicted Playing11 for India vs New Zealand 1st Test Match.



India vs New Zealand: Just a few hours are left for the start of the opening test match between India and New Zealand at Green Park, Kanpur. After bossing the Kiwis in the three matches T20I series, India will march forth for the two matches test series, starting 25th November.



The series is also a part of the ICC World Test Championship 2021-23 cycle. Both the matches will be of utmost importance for India as well as for New Zealand.



The hosts will begin as the favourites to win the short Test series against New Zealand, however, the tables can take a roll to slide into the visitor's favour if things don't go as per the plans.?



Regular skipper Virat Kohli will be unavailable for the first test match, which means, the team will be led by Ajinkya Rahane. Besides Kohli, other notable absentees in the Indian team are Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, Mohammad Shami and Jasprit Bumrah.

Unfortunately, opener KL Rahul sustained a muscle strain in his left thigh following which he will have to miss the test series. The injury to Rahul will be a blessing in disguise for Shreyas Iyer and Shubman Gill, who will get a chance in the first choice playing11 for the opening test match.

Rahane, the stand-in skipper for the first match, has already confirmed the test debut of middle-order batsman Shreyas Iyer in tomorrow?s match against New Zealand.



Moreover, in Rishabh Pant?s absence, stumper batsman Wriddhiman Saha is deemed as the first-choice keeper to go with.&nbsp;



India has predominantly curated spin-friendly conditions more often than not with a little aid for seamers. The last India vs England home test series was dominated by spinners and something similar is expected in the 1st test at Kanpur as well.
