India’s squad for the third ODI against New Zealand at Hamilton is still undecided on whether fast bowler Mohammed Siraj will be selected.
India’s 3rd ODI against New Zealand is scheduled to take place at the Hamilton Cricket Ground on Saturday. The team’s final XI has not yet been announced, and selectors are weighing the inclusion of fast bowler Mohammed Siraj. Siraj has been a key performer in the recent series, but team management is also considering the match conditions and the need for a balanced attack.
The decision will likely be made shortly before the toss, as the selectors aim to field a side that can adapt to the pitch’s expected spin-friendly nature. If Siraj is chosen, it would mark his return to the ODI side after a brief hiatus.
Fans and analysts are closely monitoring the selection call, hoping to see a strong bowling lineup that can challenge New Zealand’s batting strength. The final squad announcement is expected in the early hours of the match day.
