The record
Written from the 2 reports below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- New Zealand has announced its T20 squad for an upcoming series against India, and the headline is that Rachin Ravindra will miss the series with a shoulder injury.
- Both reports, from Indian outlet TV9 Kannada, agree on the core facts: the squad is out, and Ravindra — widely regarded as one of New Zealand's leading young batters — is unavailable.
- Neither report details the rest of the squad or names a replacement, so the full shape of New Zealand's batting lineup remains unclear from the coverage so far.
- The absence matters because Ravindra has been a key top-order option, forcing New Zealand's selectors to reshuffle against a strong India side.
- For fans in India and New Zealand, including Kannada-speaking audiences following the story closely, the series will now unfold without one of its marquee names.
- What happens next hinges on an official replacement and clarity on how long the shoulder injury keeps him sidelined.
What to watch next
- Replacement named when New Zealand confirms full T20 squad details
- Recovery timeline updates on Ravindra's shoulder injury
- Series schedule and fixture confirmations from both boards
- Whether Ravindra regains fitness for later international fixtures
