Shubman Gill has been appointed as the captain, taking over from Rohit Sharma, while Shreyas Iyer will serve as the vice-captain. Both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who retired from Test cricket earlier this year, are included in the lineup.
With Rishabh Pant unavailable due to injury, Dhruv Jurel earns his first call-up to the ODI squad and will serve as KL Rahul’s backup as wicketkeeper.
