Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya are reportedly set to be rested for the upcoming ODI series against New Zealand. This decision aligns with India's strategy to prioritize the T20 World Cup by managing the workload of key players. Bumrah, who hasn't played ODIs since the 2023 World Cup final, is being monitored for workload, while Pandya's absence from ODIs since March 2025 is linked to fitness. Both are expected to return for the subsequent T20I series.
