The Board of Control for Cricket in India has announced India's squads for the one-day international and Test series in New Zealand.
The five-match ODI series begins at Auckland on 4 November 2026, with the last two matches at Mount Maunganui on 13 and 15 November.
Shubman Gill will lead India in the first three ODIs and will then leave to prepare for the Tests; Shreyas Iyer, vice-captain for the first three matches, will captain the final two.
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are in both ODI squads. Anshul Kamboj is picked for the first three ODIs and wicketkeeper-batter Kumar Kushagra joins for the last two.
Prasidh Krishna's place in the first three ODIs depends on his passing a fitness test.
Jasprit Bumrah is rested from the ODIs and Ravindra Jadeja is left out of both ODI squads.
For the Tests, Shubman Gill is captain, KL Rahul is vice-captain and Jasprit Bumrah is in the squad.
