In a major development, Shubman Gill has been appointed captain of the ODI side, with Shreyas Iyer serving as his deputy. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who have been away from international cricket since the Champions Trophy earlier this year, return to the ODI format. Both had announced retirement from T20Is after India’s 2024 T20 World Cup win and confirmed their exit from Tests, making this comeback a significant moment for Indian cricket.

The ODI squad includes: Shubman Gill (captain), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer (vice-captain), KL Rahul (wk), Axar Patel, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Harshit Rana, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna, Dhruv Jurel (wk), Yashasvi Jaiswal.

For the T20I series, Suryakumar Yadav will lead with Gill as vice-captain. The squad features: Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Varun Chakravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, Harshit Rana, Sanju Samson (wk), Rinku Singh, Washington Sundar.
