Indian batting coach Sitanshu Kotak has confirmed that pacers Arshdeep Singh, Gurnoor Brar and Auqib Nabi will remain with the squad as part of the team's preparations for the upcoming Test series against New Zealand. The trio will stay back with the team following the third ODI of the ongoing five-match series.
“I think three bowlers – Gurnoor, Nabi and Arsh (Arshdeep) is also staying back,” Kotak said at the press conference.
Kotak also talked about the coaching staff's plans following the ODI assignment. Head coach Gautam Gambhir will continue with the ODI group, while batting coach Kotak and bowling coach Morne Morkel are scheduled to travel to Wellington.
“As far as I know, obviously Gautam will have to be here; the one-day World Cup is coming, so he will be staying here, and probably Sairaj will stay here. Some other staff will go to Wellington this sort of plan is there,” Kotak said.
“Me, Morne and some other staff will go to Wellington. But like I said, the final call lies with Gautam. So it can change, but likely this is how it will happen. We'll just try and see that their loading, their fitness, their practice – we do as much preparation as the conditions permit," he said.
