Laxman was seen spending considerable time with Rishabh Pant, who recently struggled in the T20 format. The final practice session also gave the team management a clear idea of which pair should open on Friday. Umran Malik and Sanju Samson were other candidates who were in focus at Basin Reserve.

The other members of the squad including coach VVS Laxman arrived in Wellington on Tuesday morning.

India have named a young side for the series against New Zealand with an eye towards a white-ball reboot following a humiliating exit from the T20 World Cup. Head coach Rahul Dravid has also been afforded a rest, with Laxman taking charge for the series.

All eyes will be on the batting unit with as many as four openers fighting for a place in the side. Ishan Kishan is likely to be first choice, while the likes of Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson all stand a chance to bat at the top of the order. Suryakumar, Deepak Hooda, Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson have all opened for India in T20s, with Gill yet to make his debut.
