Team India has been dealt with a setback ahead of the opening Test against New Zealand, to be held at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur from Thursday. Wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul has been ruled out of the series, having suffered a muscle strain on his left thigh. Consequently, he will be replaced by Suryakumar Yadav.

“He [Rahul] will now undergo rehabilitation at NCA in preparation for the series against South Africa scheduled next month,” recorded the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in a statement. As a result of this, Yadav is in line to make his Test debut. He has been a limited overs-specialist so far, making an impact in both Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) and One-Day Internationals (ODIs).
