The Indian cricket team has arrived in Baroda to prepare for an upcoming three-match ODI series against New Zealand. However, they will be short of four key players during initial preparations.
Key Players Missing
Four prominent team members will not be present for the early practice sessions:
- Shreyas Iyer
- Rishabh Pant
- Mohammed Siraj
- Ravindra Jadeja
These players are expected to join the squad on January 9, just two days before the first match.
Practice Schedule
The team is scheduled to hold its first practice session at Kotambi Stadium in Baroda. All available players will participate in the nets as they prepare for their opener against New Zealand.
Upcoming Matches
The first ODI match is set to take place on January 11. The series consists of three matches, and the Indian team aims for strong performances despite the initial absence of some players.
The coaching staff will be focused on maximizing training efficiency with the available squad members. Their preparations will be crucial for setting the tone for the series ahead.
