Overview
- Ferguson is in India for a five-match T20I series starting January 21 that New Zealand view as a lead‑in to next month’s World Cup.
- He described the games as “literally perfect prep,” citing exposure to dew and subcontinental surfaces even if venues differ from the tournament.
- After a calf injury in the ILT20 earlier this month, he says he has been bowling at full intensity in recent practice.
- He rejected retirement speculation, insisting he feels fit, is contributing, and is ready to perform at a World Cup.
- Selection signals conflict: he was absent from an updated New Zealand squad list on Tuesday, one outlet reported he is in the 15, and he expects a brief paternity break around February 20.
