India fast bowler Prasidh Krishna has been declared fit for the upcoming two-match Test series against New Zealand, starting November 19. The right-arm pacer was sidelined due to a left hamstring injury and subsequently ruled out of the ongoing five-match ODI series.

A BCCI source confirmed his recovery and availability for the Test series, providing a boost to India’s pace bowling resources ahead of the crucial assignment.

Krishna Likely to Play India A Match

Krishna is also expected to feature in the third unofficial four-day Test between India A and New Zealand A. The match will be played at Lincoln from November 7 to 10.

The fixture will provide him an opportunity to regain match fitness and rhythm ahead of the senior team’s Test assignment.

The opening Test will be played in Wellington from November 19 to 23, while the second and final Test is scheduled in Christchurch from November 27 to December 1.
