Prasidh Krishna Out of India’s ODI Series Against New Zealand

Injury Update

Indian fast bowler Prasidh Krishna has been ruled out of the upcoming five-match ODI series against New Zealand. According to reports, the decision follows the bowler's inability to secure the necessary fitness clearance. Krishna, who was initially included in the squad subject to his recovery, is currently rehabilitating from a hamstring injury sustained during the tour of England.

Medical staff have determined that he requires additional time to increase his workload before returning to competitive international cricket.
