    The Board of Control for Cricket in India announced the teams for the upcoming T20 series against New Zealand and the test series against Sri Lanka. The national selection panel, headed by MSK Prasad, has brought-in some new players in the T20 squad, while the tests regulars have been called back into the team. Let us have a look at the teams in detail.

    Maiden T20 call for Shreyas Iyer, Mohammed Siraj

    The selectors have included Mumbai batsman Shreyas Iyer and Hyderabad pacer Mohammed Siraj in the 16-member squad for the T20 series against New Zealand. Both the youngsters have performed exceptionally well as members of the India 'A' team. Till now, Iyer has scored 1289 runs in his 53 T20 matches, while Siraj has picked up 26 wickets in 20 T20 matches.

Prasad said that the rotational policy is applicable to the players, as well as the captain. Kohli has been a regular member of the team since July 2016.
