New Zealand have selected Finn Allen, Lockie Ferguson and Tim Seifert for their five-match ODI series against India, with Rachin Ravindra returning after injury, according to multiple reports. The teams are managed as a split squad, with different groups scheduled to assemble for the ODIs and later prepare for upcoming Test matches.
ESPN Cricinfo and other outlets say some players will move to Wellington after the third ODI to begin preparations for the next stage of the tour. This approach affects which members are available for later ODI fixtures, while the selection of Ravindra signals a change in availability following his time out. The reports describe the overall structure as a rotation designed to keep players fresh across formats and transitions during the tour.
