Shreyas Iyer Returns for India’s ODI Series Against New Zealand
India's ODI squad features the return of captain Shubman Gill and vice-captain Shreyas Iyer with Mohammed Siraj leading the pace attack after workload management exclusions.
- On January 11, India named an ODI squad that saw captain Shubman Gill and vice-captain Shreyas Iyer return for the three ODIs starting in Vadodara.
- Ahead of the selection meeting, workload and fitness dominated discussions, with Hardik Pandya left out for workload management and Shreyas Iyer's inclusion subject to BCCI medical clearance.
- The squad lists a mix of established stars and backups, including Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, and Rishabh Pant, while Axar Patel was excluded and Dhruv Jurel dropped.
- By retaining Pant the selectors signalled their preference for a like-for-like backup, dropping Dhruv Jurel and leaving domestic contenders Ruturaj Gaikwad and Tilak Verma without places.
- Rajkot and Indore will host the remaining ODIs on Jan 14 and Jan 18 before a five-match T20 series starting Jan 21, with no ODIs scheduled until India's July tour to England.
