Prithvi Shaw selected for New Zealand T20Is but Virat, Rohit stay out; Ishan Kishan included for Australia Tests

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Friday announced the squads for India’s upcoming home limited-overs series against New Zealand and the first two Tests against Australia.

While Prithvi Shaw has been recalled to the national side for the T20Is, the veteran duo of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, yet again, does not feature in the T20I squad.

“The All-India Senior Selection Committee has picked India’s squads for the upcoming Mastercard New Zealand Tour of India that comprises three ODIs and as many T20Is,” a BCCI press release stated.

“KL Rahul & Axar Patel were unavailable for the New Zealand Home series due to family commitments,” the release added.


Both Virat and Rohit’s future in the Indian T20I side currently hangs in the balance, with the board and team management reportedly reconsidering the duo’s future in the T20I setup. Moreover, 2023 is a year when the ODI World Cup takes place in India.

Meanwhile, Shaw had recently slammed 379 against Assam while playing for Mumbai in a Ranji Trophy Group match.

Not surprisingly, Rohit Sharma has been named skipper of the ODI side to face the Kiwis, while Hardik Pandya will lead the Men in Blue in the T20Is.

A notable inclusion in the Test squad to face the Aussies is that of KS Bharat, who has been backed to replace the injured Rishabh Pant as the wicketkeeper in the XI.

“Ravindra Jadeja’s inclusion in the squad is subject to fitness,” the release said regarding Jadeja’s availability for the first two Tests against Australia.

Jadeja has been ruled out of competitive cricketing action since August last year, when he sustained a knee injury during the Asia Cup.

India’s ODI squad against New Zealand: Rohit Sharma (Captain), Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan (wk), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, KS Bharat (wk), Hardik Pandya (vice-captain), Washington Sundar, Shahbaz Ahmed, Shardul Thakur, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohd.

Past masters of Indian badminton: Meena Shah defied norm to clinch dozen national titles before knee injury cut career short

In the history of women’s badminton in India, there have been three outstanding players who have each had the distinction of bagging the national singles title seven times in a row. The first of these was Meena Shah, who made the national crown her own between 1959 and ’65; the second was Madhumita Goswami-Bisht, who won the title in an unbroken reel of seven from 1984 to ’90, and ended up with ten singles crowns; and the third was Aparna Popat, who made it nine in a row between 1997 and 2005. Stroke artist Ami Ghia-Shah, who reached an unbelievable 15 national singles finals among the 36 summit clashes she managed in a 19-year career, has also been anointed national singles queen on seven occasions, but these were not in consecutive years. Ami won four consecutive titles from 1973 to ’76, and then again in 1979, ’80 and ’83. There is one thing that Aparna, Madhumita and Ami had in common – they have all been slim and trim during their reign at the top. Meena Shah, on the other hand
