New Zealand have named a 16-player squad for the upcoming five-match T20I series against India, with Rachin Ravindra being ruled out the series due to a shoulder injury suffered during a promotional shoot last week. As per NZC, the injury is expected to keep him on the sidelines for almost six weeks. 

And New Zealand would hope that Rachin makes a full recovery in time to be available for the three-match ODI series, which is scheduled to begin on November 4. New Zealand have added Bevon Jacobs to the squad as a middle-order option.

The squad also includes Lockie Ferguson, Matt Henry, Kyle Jamieson, Jacob Duffy, Zak Foulkes and Nathan Smith. Veteran all-rounder Michael Bracewell also comes back to the squad, having missed the T20 World Cup 2026 due to injury. The series will begin on October 22 in Christchurch. 

New Zealand squad: Mitchell Santner (c), Finn Allen, Michael Bracewell, Mark Chapman, Devon Conway, Jacob Duffy, Lockie Ferguson, Zak Foulkes, Matt Henry, Bevon Jacobs, Kyle Jamieson, Adam Milne, Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, Tim Seifert and Nathan Smith
