India have named a full-strength squad for the series with Rohit Sharma being the captain. Jasprit Bumrah has been appointed as the vice captain of the side. Yash Dayal is the only member who has been released from the squad that faced Bangladesh last month.

Another big highlight is the absence of ace pacer Mohammed Shami who continues to recover from injury. Shami last played for India in November 2023 in the Cricket World Cup final in Ahmedabad. He underwent an ankle surgery after the World Cup and has not played any competitive cricket since then.

BCCI has also named four travelling reserves for the series. Fast bowlers Prasidh Krishna, Mayank Yadav and Harshit Rana alongside pace-bowling all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy are the four reserve players that will travel alongside the main squad.
