KEY POINTS:
India last night named three squads for their tour of New Zealand, and all the big artillery are coming.
Wicketkeeper and hard-hitting batsman Mahendra Singh Dhoni captains all three teams.
The world's leading test runscorer Sachin Tendulkar is not in the squad of 16 for the two Twenty20 internationals which start the tour on February 25 and 27 in Christchurch and Wellington, but is in the ODI and test squads. His Twenty20 place has gone to promising Ravindra Jadeja.
India's batting will revolve around formidable opening pair Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir, and the fabled middle order trio of Rahul Dravid, Tendulkar and VVS Laxman.
Zaheer Khan and Ishant Sharma spearhead the bowling attack.
