It has not been a month since when Ajaz Patel created history by becoming the third cricketer to scalp 3 wickets in a Test inning. Ajaz remained phenomenal throughout the test series of India vs New Zealand. New Zealand is playing their next test series against Bangladesh but unfortunately, the history-maker Ajaz is not a part of the line-up.

New Zealand announced their 13-members squad for the upcoming test series against Bangladesh. Mount Maunganui will be hosting the 2-match test series from 1st January. Many people are raising their eyebrows on this decision and a lot have been buzzing on different social media platforms.
Not only Ajaz, the Kiwi captain Kane Williamson will not be a part of the test series because of his injury. Tom Latham takes the responsibilities of the captain in Kane's absence.
Tweets of fans from all around the world:
Wonder who got on a call with Ajaz Patel to explain ‘horses for courses’ policy…and by the way, NZ’s selection pretty much confirms the amount of grass likely to be seen on the pitches for the two Tests vs Bangladesh. Take your goats along for grazing, B’desh.
