Goa, Nov. 14 -- Five days before the first Test against New Zealand in Wellington, India have released senior wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav from the squad. The BCCI announced Saturday that Kuldeep-who featured in just one of the tour's 10 white-ball matches-will return home to represent Uttar Pradesh in ongoing domestic cricket. Punjab seamer Gurnoor Brar, already in New Zealand as part of the ODI setup, has been drafted into the Test team as his replacement. The two-match Test series begins on November 19.
