BAN vs NZ Key Players

Mitchell Santner

Santner is back in the Test side after two years. Poor form and rhythm saw him leave the Test side but after some good form in white-ball cricket, and contributions with the bat Santner returns with confidence. His style of bowling leaves a lot of potential to use and New Zealand will want to get the best out of Santner as he makes his comeback.

Monimul Haque

Monimul Haque does not like being in the spotlight. He was their Test captain, but performances dried up during his time at the helm. Now, back as a player, Monimul Haque has a job on hand as a Test specialist coming in after long gaps.

IND vs AUS Match Tips

Fatigue is showing in the Australian camp. For India, their players are a lot more fresh with new ones in the side. However, Australia do tend to perform better when the going gets tough and could be backed to keep the series alive here.
