Uncapped wicketkeeper-batter Kumar Kushagra has been added to India's squad for the second T20I against New Zealand as cover for Ishan Kishan, who has been ruled out of Saturday's match due to an injury.
Uncapped wicketkeeper-batter Kumar Kushagra has been called up to India's squad as cover for Ishan Kishan ahead of the second T20I against New Zealand. The BCCI confirmed Kishan suffered a low-grade right adductor strain during the series opener and will miss Saturday's match in Christchurch. Kushagra, who is with the India A team in New Zealand, will link up with the senior squad while the medical staff monitors Kishan.
India currently holds a 1-0 series lead following a four-wicket victory in the opening match. Sanju Samson scored 67 and Naman Dhir hit an unbeaten 42 to successfully chase New Zealand's total of 225/4. Kishan remains part of the squad for the upcoming ODI series.
