The Kiwis announced their squad on Friday morning and the BCCI have followed suit by announcing a 16-member ODI squad.

INDIA ODI SQUAD

Rishabh Pant remains out after meeting with a horrific accident three weeks back. Sanju Samson is also recuperating from an injury while KL Rahul is on leave as he is tying the knot with his girlfriend Athiya Shetty on 23 January. In their absence, Ishan Kishan emerges as the frontrunner to take the spot while KS Bharat will deputize if needed. Shahbaz Ahmed and Shardul Thakur are the surprising entries as Arshdeep Singh misses out. Rest of the squad is similar to the one playing Sri Lanka in the ongoing series.
