All-format skipper Rohit Sharma and veteran batter Virat Kohli have been ignored for the T20Is. Shabaz Ahmed has been recalled in the ODI squad as a like-to-like replacement for Axar. Jitesh Sharma retains his place in the team as Sanju Samson hasn’t recovered completely from the injury he sustained during the first T20I against Sri Lanka in Mumbai. Rahul Tripathi, Deepak Hooda, Ishan Kishan, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and Jitesh would add depth to the batting order, with Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, and Yuzvendra Chahal will be tasked to take care of the spin department.
IND VS NZ: Shaw Recalled to India’s T20 Squad
After being ignored by the selectors despite scoring a truckload of runs, Shaw has finally earned his place in the national team. His selection comes on the back of his fantastic form in the domestic circuit. Most recently Shaw smashed his highest first-class score of 379 runs in a Ranji Trophy match against Assam. As far as his T20 form is concerned, he was also one of the top run scorers in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy last year. Apart from Shaw, there are no changes in the T20I squad.
India’s ODI squad: Rohit Sharma (Captain), Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan (wk), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, KS Bharat (wk), Hardik Pandya (vice-captain), Washington Sundar, Shahbaz Ahmed, Shardul Thakur, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohd. Shami, Mohd. Siraj, Umran Malik.
India’s T20I squad: Hardik Pandya (Captain), Suryakumar Yadav (vice-captain), Ishan Kishan (wk), Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shubman Gill, Deepak Hooda, Rahul Tripathi, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Umran Malik, Shivam Mavi, Prithvi Shaw, Mukesh Kumar.
