Mark Chapman and Zak Foulkes have been ruled out of New Zealand's T20I squad for the upcoming series against India due to injuries, officials said. Their places have been taken by all‑rounder Josh Clarkson and fast bowler Blair Tickner, who were added to the squad on 9 October.
The five‑match series is scheduled to begin on 22 October, with both sides looking to field fit line‑ups. New Zealand's selectors hope the new inclusions will bolster the side's balance ahead of the home series.
