His inclusion is subject to final fitness clearance, but team management remains optimistic about his availability.

Experienced batters such as Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Rishabh Pant have been included to anchor the batting order. Mohammed Siraj returns to the ODI squad, strengthening the pace attack, while the overall selection reflects a balance between experience and future planning. Focus Ahead of Major Tournaments Some senior all-rounders have been rested as part of workload management ahead of upcoming international commitments. The series against New Zealand will serve as an important opportunity for India to test combinations and leadership structures as preparations continue for major global tournaments later in the year.
