The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the ODI squad for the upcoming series against New Zealand with Shubman Gill set to lead the side. In an announcement made on Saturday (Jan 3) in Jaipur, the selector panel led by Ajit Agarkar announced a 15-man squad for the tournament which included Rishabh Pant, Mohammed Siraj and Shreyas Iyer. The latter is subject to fitness having suffered injury during the ODI series in Australia in October.
India announce squad for ODI series
"The Senior Men's Selection Committee has picked India's squad for the upcoming IDFC First Bank three-match ODI series against New Zealand starting January 11 in Vadodara. Shreyas Iyer's availability is subject to fitness clearance from the BCCI COE. Hardik Pandya has not been cleared by the BCCI COE to bowl 10 overs in a match and, considering the ICC Men's T20 World Cup to follow, his workload is being managed," the BCCI said in a statement.
With the T20 World Cup fast approaching, selectors kept a close eye on all the players while also considering workload management. Gill, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Mohammed Siraj, who are not part of the T20 World Cup, were the first names on the team sheet. Iyer’s inclusion also comes after he missed out on the South Africa home series.
