Jasprit Bumrah, the Indian pacer, has successfully undergone surgery in New Zealand for his persistent back issues, which caused him to miss almost six months of international cricket.

His last appearance for Rohit Sharma's Team India was in September 2022.
The ICC rankings released on Wednesday saw Premier India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin losing six rating points, but he remained the joint number one Test bowler with England's James Anderson.

According to Ben Stokes, the England captain, he had no second thoughts about opting for a follow-on after New Zealand's one-run victory in the second Test in Wellington, despite their historic win. After England declared their first innings at 435 for eight and New Zealand were bowled out for 209 in response, Stokes chose to send the Black Caps back in to bat on Day III at the Basin Reserve.
