India has announced a balanced 15-member ODI squad for the three match series against New Zealand. Shubman Gill titled as the captain and Shreyas Iyer as the vice-captain, subjected to fitness clearance. The squad combines experienced cricketers like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli alongside notably emerging talents such as Harshit Rana and Nitish Kumar Reddy.​

Key Squad Highlights

Shubman Gill will lead the team. He’s back after missing the South Africa ODIs because of a neck injury. Shreyas Iyer also returns as vice-captain, but his place depends on getting full fitness clearance from the BCCI.
Hardik Pandya is the big name missing out. He isn’t ready to bowl all 10 overs yet, so the selectors are being careful with him before the T20 World Cup.
Ruturaj Gaikwad, Tilak Varma, and Dhruv Jurel didn’t make the squad even after doing well in domestic cricket. Rishabh Pant stays in the team as the backup wicketkeeper to KL Rahul. For more details you can visit our site https://cricketbinge.com/indias-odi-squad-for-new-zealand-series-2026/
