On Friday, the BCCI announced India’s 15-member squad for the upcoming Test series against New Zealand. India’s star speedster Jasprit Bumrah has been appointed as the vice-captain of the team for the three-match series against the Kiwis starting on October 16. The Indian team did not make any changes in the team as Mohammed Shami failed to make it to the side. The likes of Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan also could manage to seal their places in the Indian team.
Talking about Bumrah, he has been in brilliant form for the last few years and has also led the Indian team in the fifth Test against England at Edgbaston in July 2022.
