New Zealand cricket team
The two-match Test series between New Zealand and South Africa begins on February 4, with the first match being played in Mount Maungani. Africa had already announced the test team for this tour, which included many new players. The New Zealand team was also announced, with all eyes on the return of Kane Williamson, who was part of the team for both games in this series. Williamson played in the first two matches of the recently concluded five-match T20 series against Pakistan but was unable to play in the final three matches of the series due to his unfitness.
Rachin Ravindra also got a place in the squad
Young player Rachin Ravindra has also announced a place in the New Zealand team against South Africa, which is playing its first Test match on the tour of India in 2021. After that, Rachin played his last Test match against Bangladesh in January 2022. Rachin will be seen in a new role in this Test series where he may get a chance to bat in the middle order. With Henry Nicholls not in the team, Rachin could be given his role. If we talk about other players in the team, fast bowler Will O'Rourke was included in the team for the first time for the second game. Considering the situation, only Mitchell Santner was included in the team as a key spinner, playing his last Test match of 2020 at home.
