BCCI has made changes in the Indian squad for the T20 series against New Zealand. Shreyas Iyer and Ravi Bishnoi have returned to the T20 team after a long time. There is bad news for all-rounder Washington Sundar, who was injured during the ODI series, because he will not be available for all 5 matches of the series due to injury. The T20 series between India and New Zealand will be played from January 21-January 31.

Shreyas Iyer has got a place in Team India for the first three T20 matches, he has been brought into the team as a replacement for Tilak Verma. It is expected that Tilak Verma can make a comeback in the fourth T20. On the other hand, injured Washington Sundar has been replaced by Ravi Bishnoi. The injuries of Tilak Verma and Washington Sundar are a matter of great concern for Team India, because there is less than a time left for the start of the 2026 T20 World Cup.

India’s updated T20 squad: Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Shreyas Iyer (first three T20s), Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dubey, Axar Patel (vice-captain), Rinku Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Harshit Rana, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakraborty, Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), Ravi Bishnoi.
