Iyer, Bishnoi Drafted Into India Squad For T20Is Against NZ; Sundar Ruled Out With Side Strain

By IANS News January 16, 2026 • 21:30 PM View: 274

BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia: India have added right-handed batter Shreyas Iyer and leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi to their T20I squad for the upcoming five-game series against New Zealand, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) informed on Friday.

The five-game series against New Zealand, starting in Nagpur on January 21, is India’s last international assignment before their Men’s T20 World Cup title defence starts on February 7.

While Bishnoi comes as a replacement for the injured off-spin bowling all-rounder Washington Sundar, Iyer will be there for the first three games due to left-handed batter Tilak Varma, who is recovering from a lower abdomen surgery.
