It is anticipated that Ravindra Jadeja mght make a comeback while Jasprit Bumrah is also racing against the clock to be fit. KL Rahul is marrying long time girlfriend Athiya Shetty on 20 January and is expected to apply for a leave. Jitesh Sharma is worth a shout to replace him as a back up keeper with Sanju Samson out with a knee injury. Rohit Sharma might be given a rest for the T20Is as India look to build a younger squad in the shortest format.
