India batter Shubman Gill may miss the first Test against New Zealand. The 25-year-old has reportedly complained about neck and shoulder pain, and informed the team management about this on Monday, as per a report by India Today.
The report further states that a final call on Gill's selection will be made on the morning of the Test match, on Wednesday, October 16.
Gill's absence could open the door for Sarfaraz Khan or Dhruv Jurel to find their way back into India's playing XI. Gill has made the No.
3 spot in Test cricket his own in recent months. He starred with a century against Bangladesh in the first Test of the recently-concluded series.
