After ending their T20 World Cup 2022 campaign with a disappointing loss against England in the semi-finals, Team India will now be squaring off against New Zealand in a white-ball series. The series will comprise three T20Is and three ODIs, kick-starting from November 18 in Wellington. Hardik Pandya will be leading Team India in the T20Is while Shikhar Dhawan will be captaining the ODI side. The series will also mark the international return of IPL 2022 star pacer Umran Malik, who played his last T20I match against England in July.
