Auckland [New Zealand], October 31 (ANI): The Men's Selection Committee has expanded Auqib Nabi's role in India's ODI squad against New Zealand, including the right-arm pacer in the squad for the first three matches of the series.

The ODI series will kick off on November 4 in Auckland at Eden Park. "The Men's Selection Committee has added Auqib Nabi to the squad for the first three ODIs against New Zealand.

Injury Update and Squad Revisions
The revision follows Prasidh Krishna's exclusion from the entire ODI series due to a hamstring injury sustained during India's recent home series against the West Indies. His participation in the New Zealand tour had initially been made subject to fitness clearance. Prasidh, however, remains in contention for India's upcoming two-Test series against New Zealand. If he clears his fitness assessment, the pacer could be drafted into the India A squad for the third and final four-day match against New Zealand A, scheduled to begin on November 7.
