Axar Patel, who was replaced by R Ashwin in India’s ODI World Cup squad earlier due to an injury he sustained in the lead-up to the tournament will return to the squad.
The selectors had also considered making Shreyas Iyer captain but decided against it because of the workload he has taken over the last few months, starting with the Asia Cup 2023.
