India’s squad for ODI series against Australia and New Zealand: Virat (Capt), Rohit (vc), KL Rahul, Shikhar, Ambati Rayudu, Dinesh Karthik, Kedar Jadhav, MS Dhoni (WK), Hardik Pandya, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Ravindra Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Khaleel Ahmed, Mohammed Shami

With the World Cup in focus, the upcoming ODI series presents Virat Kohli and management to try and identify different players for different roles. Rishabh Pant has been axed from the squad which will put all the attention on MS Dhoni who has not had the best of runs with the bat in the recent past.

Also, there is the number six spot which has not been resolved and this is another area which needs to ironed out before the marquee tournament.
