India vs New Zealand ODI 2026 squad: Shreyas Iyer returns after injury, Gill back as skipper; check full team

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Saturday named the Team India squad for the upcoming ODI series against New Zealand, with Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer included in the lineup.

"Shreyas Iyer’s availability is subject to fitness clearance from 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," said BCCI in its statement.

Senior India fast bowler Mohammed Siraj, who was overlooked for the home series against South Africa, is back in the ODI setup.


Ruturaj Gaikwad could not get the selectors' nod after scoring a fine hundred during the South Africa series.


India’s ODI squad: Shubman Gill (C), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul (WK), Shreyas Iyer (VC)*, Washington Sundar, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohd Siraj, Harshit Rana, Prasidh Krishna, Kuldeep Yadav, Rishabh Pant (WK), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Arshdeep Singh, Yashasvi Jaiswal
