Wicket-keeper Dinesh Karthik and pacer Shardul Thakur were recalled for the three-match ODI series against New Zealand while selectors continued to ignore senior spinners Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Aswhin. Opener Shikhar Dhawan has also returned to the ODI team after missing the series against Australia due to his wife's illness. However, he did play the T20 series against Australia.
Shardul Thakur
Karthik, who last played for India during the West Indies tour in July and was also a part of the Champions Trophy squad, has been picked again. Karthik (32) was named in the India T20 squad for the recently concluded Australia series but did not get a game. Speedster Thakur was ignored for the series against Australia after playing in Sri Lanka. Now, he has been picked in place of Umesh Yadav, who has been dropped.
Notable names missing from the squad are of batsman KL Rahul, Ashwin and Jadeja. The spin duo has not played for India since the Test series in Sri Lanka two months ago.
