Mandhana, who missed the one-off T20I, is still at the quarantine facility along with quicks Meghana Singh and Renuka Singh
India batter Smriti Mandhana is set to be out for at least the first ODI against New Zealand as ESPNcricinfo understands she is expected to spend another few days at the host nation’s government MIQ (Managed Isolation and Quarantine).
Mandhana, who missed the one-off T20I, is still at the MIQ along with quicks Meghana Singh and Renuka Singh, said Yastika Bhatia, who took Mandhana’s opening position in the T20I on Wednesday which India lost by 18 runs.
India are due to play five ODIs in Queenstown, starting February 12, with the series expected to serve as vital preparation ahead of the 50-over World Cup in New Zealand starting March.
