Five key questions ahead of India's New Zealand tour squad announcement

India's squad selection for the upcoming New Zealand tour has thrown up several talking points as selectors prepare to announce their ODI and Test squads.

Key concerns include the fitness status of wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant following his recent injury, and the workload management of fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah as the team balances domestic and international commitments.

Another major focus is identifying a suitable all-rounder to strengthen the squad's balance across both formats. Selectors must also weigh the form and availability of other key players as they finalize their combinations for the challenging tour ahead.
