India unlikely to face Lockie Ferguson in New Zealand

Adopting a “conservative” approach means  New Zealand  speedster  Lockie Ferguson  is unlikely to make the upcoming Test series against India his international comeback from a calf injury.

The pacer went down with a calf strain 11 overs into his Test debut against Australia in Perth last December, an injury that kept him out of action for almost two months.

He returned last weekend for the Auckland Aces in the Ford Trophy, and will line up for it again this Sunday, as it hosts the Otago Volts in the final at Eden Park Outer Oval.

However, he is not going to hurry his international comeback though he is in constant touch with national team coach Gary Stead.

“Me and Steady talk all the time - he was asking me how I fared in my first domestic game back, then he was asking me how I was going preparing for the weekend,” Ferguson was quoted as saying by  stuff.co.nz .

Day One: India vs New Zealand XI Warm-up | As it Happened

Report

Vihari, Pujara rescue India as openers fail seam and bounce test

Hanuma Vihari’s gutsy hundred and the seasoned Cheteshwar Pujara’s 93 were the bright spots in an otherwise dreadful batting performance by India on the first day of their warm-up game against New Zealand XI here.

All the three designated openers -  Mayank Agarwal  (1),  Prithvi Shaw  (0) and  Shubman Gill  (0) - failed the seam and bounce test, falling cheaply.

With skipper Virat Kohli opting for an intense net session over the warm-up game, India managed only 263 with none apart from Vihari (101 retired) and Pujara able to score even 20 runs on a Seddon Park track that had liberal grass covering.

Brief Scores:

India:  263 all out in 78.5 overs ( Hanuma Vihari  101,  Cheteshwar Pujara  93; Scott Kuggeleijn 3/40, Ish Sodhi 3/72)

India: Prithvi Shaw, Mayank Agarwal, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli(c), Ajinkya Rahane, Wriddhiman Saha(w), Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Shubman Gill, Hanuma Vihari, Rishabh Pant, Navdeep Saini

New Zealand XI: Henry Cooper, Will Young, Rachin Ravindra, Tim Seifert, Tom Bruce, Daryl Mitchell(c), Dane Cleaver(w), James Neesham, Finn Allen, Scott Kuggeleijn, Ish Sodhi, Blair Tickner
