India have added pacer Gurnoor Brar to the Test squad for the two-match series against New Zealand, scheduled to begin in Wellington on Thursday, November 19.

The Men’s Selection Committee has also released spinner Kuldeep Yadav from the Test squad to allow him to participate in domestic cricket in India.

Wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant has joined the Indian squad in Wellington ahead of the series.

Brar will link up with the Test team and, consequently, miss the fifth ODI. India have decided not to name a replacement for the final match of the ongoing ODI series.

India’s updated squad for fifth ODI: Shreyas Iyer (captain), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Tilak Varma, Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper and vice-captain), Axar Patel, Naman Dhir, Auqib Nabi, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Arshdeep Singh, Kumar Kushagra (wicketkeeper), Mohammed Siraj, Yash Thakur and Kuldeep Yadav.
