Rathour, Herath Join NZ Squad for Asia Tests

New Zealand has enlisted former India batting coach Vikram Rathour and Sri Lanka spinner Rangana Herath to support their team in the upcoming Test matches in Asia. Rathour will assist for the one-off Test against Afghanistan starting on September 9 in Greater Noida, while Herath will stay on through the two-Test series against Sri Lanka and help the team's left-arm spinners. This strategic move comes as New Zealand prepares for challenging subcontinental conditions, with their head coach Gary Stead expressing excitement about the valuable insights and skills Rathour and Herath bring. The Blackcaps' tour continues with matches against Sri Lanka and India, pivotal for the ICC World Test Championship standings.
