Veteran seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar has returned to India's T20I setup after four years, while Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson, KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant feature among the prominent names in the squads announced by the BCCI on Tuesday for the upcoming tour of New Zealand.
Iyer will captain India's 16-member T20I squad, with Tilak Varma as his deputy. Bhuvneshwar's recall is the most notable selection development, with the experienced seamer included alongside Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav and Mayank Yadav in the bowling group.
