Pacer Auqib Nabi has been added to India's squad for the first three ODIs against New Zealand, following the injury withdrawal of Prasidh Krishna. Nabi, who was initially set to join the team for the last two ODIs, will now participate in all five matches of the series. The five-match ODI series against New Zealand is set to begin on November 4. The addition of Nabi to the squad comes after Krishna was ruled out due to a hamstring injury sustained during the second ODI against West Indies. Nabi, a 29-year-old right-arm pacer, made his India debut against West Indies in September and has been impressive in recent matches, including a three-wicket haul in the first unofficial Test at Lincoln. His inclusion in the squad for the first three ODIs is a strategic move by the team management as they prepare for the upcoming World Cup.
