New Zealand Playing 11 VS ZIMBABWE- 1st Test, New Zealand Tour of Zimbabwe 2025:
Operators: Devon Conway (WK), Rachin Ravindra
The Kiwis have been affected by a major blow before the start of the first test against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo, as the regular captain Tom Latham has ruled out the first test.
Mitchell Santner will take over as captain of the side for the first game of the series and would like to start winning.
Your daily dose of cricket!
The Kiwis have decided to play a young game for the two -game test series, with some of their key players missing the series for several reasons.
If we compare the two departments, it is the New Zealand bowling that looks relatively less experienced, with names like Kyle Jamieson that is missing the series for personal reasons.
As for the team’s battle department, it includes the tastes of Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra and Will Young, to name a few.
Conway and Ravindra are expected to open the entrances and want the team to start doing a good start to make things easier for incoming batters.
The two bats are known for their sound technique, which will be tested if the New Zealand bats first, as the ball can do a little with the time it is expected to be on the cooler side.
Batsmen of medium order and all surroundings: Will Young, Daryl Mitchell, Henry Nicholls, Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner (C), Nathan Smith
The opening couple will be followed by a medium order that has been the backbone of New Zealand and played an important role in helping the team to record a historic victory in India.
The largest strength of visitors between the formats for quite some time has been the depth of the team’s battle department, which is also the case in this series.
The presence of players like Will Young, Daryl Mitchell, Henry Nicholls, Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner and Nathan Smith means that Blackcaps bat to number eight, which provides flexibility to the team.
As in the recently concluded tri-series, the average order has many players in the tests that can be beat in different positions in the order of battle depending on the situation.
Ballers: William O’Rourke, Jacob Duffy, Ajaz Patel
As for the Kiwi Bowling Department for the Zimbabwe Testing series, it seems a bit short of experience, especially in fast bowling.
The team’s fast bowling department includes names such as William O’Rourke and Jacob Duffy, which is expected to appear in the first test for the first test and will have the support of Nathan Smith.
That said, the story is completely different when it comes to spin bowling resources from the team, which will be managed by experienced bowls Mitchell Santner and Ajaz Patel, with Michael Bracewell the third spinner.
In addition to the specialist bowls, BlackCaps have two more bowling options in the form of Rachin Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell, which has eight bowling options.
