New Zealand Cricket (NZC) has announced multiple squad changes for the remaining three T20Is against India. The change will see Lockie Ferguson sit out the third fixture, Matt Henry stay behind to focus on ODI preparations, and Blair Tickner join the group for the final three matches to manage fast-bowling workloads ahead of the upcoming five-match ODI series.
Under the new plan, Lockie Ferguson travels to Auckland prior to rejoining his teammates for the last two games. Meanwhile, Matt Fisher will accompany the squad to Wellington only as cover pacer for the third match before returning to the New Zealand A setup.
