Player: The New Zealand cricket team has to visit India this month, where a 3-match Test series is to be played between the two teams. By winning this series, Team India would like to strengthen its claim for the final of the World Test Championship (WTC).

On the other hand, the Kiwi team has recently faced defeat in the Test series against Sri Lanka and India would like to take full advantage of their poor form. However, this test series may prove to be the last series for a player.

The series will start from October 16

The Test series between the two teams is going to be very important for Team India and that is why India would like to win 3-0 in this series.

This series is going to start from 16th October and the first match is to be played at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

Apart from this, the second match is to be played between October 24 and October 28 at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune, while between November 1 and November 5, both the teams will face each other at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai for the final match.

This series could be the last for this player

Actually, the player we are talking about here is none other than former Kiwi team captain and fast bowler Tim Saudi.

This series may prove to be the last for Saudi and he may announce his retirement after this.

Saudi is currently 35 years old and keeping this in mind he can announce his retirement. Before this, he had also resigned from the captaincy of Test cricket and now he can say goodbye to cricket too.
