Pacers Arshdeep Singh, Gurnoor Brar and Auqib Nabi will remain with the Indian team to prepare for the Test series against New Zealand, according to the Times of India on Saturday.
Batting coach Sitanshu Kotak confirmed the three bowlers will stay back after the ongoing ODI series as the team begins red-ball preparations.
Kotak said the conditions in the current ODI series, including seam and swing, provided useful preparation for the Test matches.
The coach stated that head coach Gautam Gambhir will remain with the ODI squad, while he and bowling coach Morne Morkel will travel to Wellington.
India's Test players are scheduled to begin a preparatory camp on November 11, which Kotak expects will include five to six sessions to help the squad get ready.
India currently holds a 2-0 lead in the five-match ODI series after a four-run victory under the DLS method in Wellington.
