I guess this time it is going to be an one sided match. New Zealand has the upper hand when they plays at home, but they always struggle under subcontinental conditions. On top of that, some of their key bowlers like Lockie Ferguson are not available. Kyle Jamieson should be leading the attack, as he depends more on pace and bounce compared to the medium pacers. Feeling excited for Shreyas Iyer, as I have always believed that he is the right person to succeed Kohli as the captain of the Indian team in the long run.
* KL Rahul is ruled out from the Test series against Kiwis due to injury.
* Surya Kumar added into the squad
* Good chance of Jadeja-Ashwin-Axar trio playing together.
Kiwis squad
* 5 spinners in their squad. (Ajaz Patel , Mitchell Santner, Will Somerville Rachin Ravindra and Glenn Phillips)
KL Rahul being ruled out is a big blow though Jadeja-Axar-Ashwin trio could help India in a big way. Great opportunity for players like Axar, Sky etc to prove themselves in the test format in my opinion.* Surya Kumar added into the squad

Williamson, Santner, Phillips, Jamieson and Southee are the players to look out for from the NZ squad based on my research.

Shakib is not available for this series?
Bangladesh is competetive team in home competition but Pakistan is not alien to subcontinent and they are not SENA countires. Without Shakib i'm not sure if Bangladesh is capable to compete against Pakistan. I would be very surprise if they successfully pull this off somehow.
I doubt Shakib Al Hasan will be fit enough to play the first match even though he is included in the squad, he is the main player in the team for Bangladesh but Pakistan is a much better team as they are good players of spin, Bangladesh usually troubles teams who has a weakness to play spin and i doubt they could spin the same web against India or Pakistan.

Shakib Al Hasan is in the squad for the first test, but he isn't fit yet for playing the match. Yesterday the selectors announced that Shakib won't be able to play in the first test for his injury. Bangladesh plays better in their home condition, but they were never good in test format. I think they will loss the test series as well.Bangladesh is competetive team in home competition but Pakistan is not alien to subcontinent and they are not SENA countires.

West Indies scored 230 runs in their first innings and lost 6 wickets for 52 runs in the second innings. And looking at their batting, it doesn't look like they will be able to score a total of 100 runs in the second innings. They will be defeated by more than 250 runs. Sri Lanka is not a very strong team, such a poor performance against Sri Lanka is very shameful.
A test match between Bangladesh and Pakistan will begin on Friday. Bangladesh is already struggling in their cricket team. Bangladesh's all-rounder Mahmudullah announces his retirement from test cricket after Shakib Al Hasan rules out. Definitely bad news for Bangladesh; he has retired from red-ball cricket after 12 years. He is one of the greatest players Bangladesh has produced. Sadly, one after another, Bangladesh's senior players are retiring, but the management is struggling to replace them. Happy retirement!

India and New Zealand starting their next WTC cycle against each other.
BCCI announced their squad for 2 test match series.
- Virat Kohli is resting for 1st test match. Ajinkya will lead the team in his absense.
- Rohit, Bumrah, Shami and Pant are rested.
- Hanuma Vihari was missing from the Indian national team, guess they want him to play in SENA countries only that's why he has been added into India A team (this one is old screenshot) for South Africa tour. They are touring South Africa for 3 first class match.

I think India will have to work hard here to win against New Zealand in test matches, because you know New Zealand has always been better in the test format more than the other two formats of cricket. So I think India has to be careful and not get very overconfident. But depending on the situation. Actually, I think India will win.
New Zealand are the WTC champions, but historically they have performed poorly in sub-continental conditions. First of all, they are very heavily dependent on pace bowlers. Now you can say that pacers like Lockie Ferguson and Kyle Jamieson depends more on raw pace rather than swing or seam, and therefore they shouldn't face much issues in adjusting to the Indian conditions. But the main issue is with the spinners. None of their spinners - including Mitchell Santner, Ajaz Patel and Ish Sodhi has the ability to destroy opposition. Yes, I think that Indian batsmen will be able to play the New Zealand spinners well enough. Actually, they don't really spin the ball too much. and you know they heavily rely on line and length and bowling stumps to stumps. On the other hand, India has some world-class batsmen. I think if India can just play off the starting overs of the day and stay on the pitch they will be able to score really easily.

I think that even though New Zealand bowlers have pace and they depend on their pace to take wickets, might be a reason why they are not really successful in subcontinental pitches because the subcontinental pitches don't have much pace in them. And you know, they don't have too much swing or seam, the batsman can just watch the ball closely and get set and pick them apart. About the spinners, I think Mitchell Santner is good but none of them has the ability to spin the ball too much.

Anyone excited about the NZ tour test matches of India?
Since the 3 match T20I dominated completely by the Indian team even though the big names are missing still you expect the same thing to happen so this is some kind of revenge for what happened in T20 world cup super12.

Don't be so sure because Newzealand is a far better test playing team them a one-day or t20 team. Don't forget that Newzealand is the test cricket champion of the world. So I think India has their work cut out in the test matches.

Most chances they are going to win this series by 2 - 0 because they are in very good touch with new energy and new coach all in their favors.

New Zealand had won the title of world test championship by beating India. And India has lost the last three test match against New Zealand. However, the situation is different at this moment and India plays better in their home condition. Betting odds is in favour of India. On the other hand, West Indies is struggling against Sri Lanka. Seems like they will go through follow on and loss this game.As India has lost in the past against New Zealand I think this time they will get their revenge. Judging by the conditions I don't think that India will lose this time.
And in West Indies versus Sri Lanka, West Indies are still trailing by 273 runs at the end of day 2. I think the west indies will have a hard time coming back in this match.

The ball tampering incident is the reason i am not expecting CA to appoint Steve Smith as the captain and as JSRAW said Pat Cummins could be the next captain.
Oh common.. that incident happens many years ago and Steve Smith was banished for one year when he was at his peak. Ball tampering is something that is very common in test cricket. Steve Smith was unlucky and that's the reason why he got caught. And I still don't understand the logic in banning three batsmen for ball tampering and giving clean chit to the bowlers. Anyway, bygones are bygones. Smith already received a disproportionate punishment for his misadventure. I don't want him to be targeted again. I think that ICC should make some rules about themselves first because ball tampering shouldn't have this high of a penalty. I honestly think that the maximum penalty should be 6 months for this. And also remember that Shakib Al Hasan ban of a year?
