Bumrah returns to India Test squad for New Zealand series; Pant conditionally included

India has announced its Test squad for the upcoming series against New Zealand, bringing back Jasprit Bumrah after he missed the recent assignment against Sri Lanka. The pacer's return bolsters the pace attack for the touring side.

Rishabh Pant has been included in the squad, though his selection remains conditional pending fitness clearance. The wicketkeeper-batter's participation will depend on his recovery status before the series begins.

The overall composition of the squad largely mirrors the one that faced Sri Lanka in the team's last Test series, with minimal changes beyond Bumrah's return and Pant's conditional inclusion.
