Jacob Duffy returns to New Zealand squad for India Tests

Jacob Duffy has been named in the New Zealand squad for the upcoming two-Test series against India, starting November 19 in Wellington. He replaces Ben Sears, Zak Foulkes, and Will O'Rourke, who are sidelined due to injuries. Rachin Ravindra, Devon Conway, and Tom Blundell are also returning after recovering from their respective injuries. The squad, led by Tom Latham, includes players who previously competed against England, with the notable absence of Kane Williamson, who retired during that series. The team aims to build on their earlier success and is preparing for an exciting summer of Test cricket. New Zealand's head coach Rob Walter emphasized the importance of this series, which marks the beginning of ten scheduled Tests through March.
