India's all‑rounder Prasidh Krishna has been ruled out of the upcoming One Day International series in New Zealand as he remains under medical care. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed his unavailability ahead of the tour.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced on Monday that Prasidh Krishna will miss the three‑match One Day International (ODI) series against New Zealand. The 27‑year‑old all‑rounder is still recuperating from a niggling injury that kept him out of recent domestic fixtures.
Medical reports indicate that Prasidh is undergoing a supervised rehabilitation program and will not be fit to travel with the senior squad to New Zealand. The decision was taken after consultations with team physiotherapists and the national medical panel.
His absence creates a selection dilemma for the Indian side, which will have to rely on other seam‑bowling all‑rounders for the upcoming matches. The BCCI said it will monitor his progress closely and provide updates before the next series.
Prasidh, who made his international debut in 2022, has been a valuable asset in limited‑overs cricket, contributing both with the ball and lower‑order batting. Fans and teammates expressed support on social media, wishing him a swift recovery.
The New Zealand tour is scheduled to begin in early December, and the Indian team will now travel with a slightly altered squad composition, pending any further injury updates.
