India's squad for the upcoming three-match ODI series against New Zealand is set to be announced on January 3. Key players Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are expected to return. The selection of pacer Mohammed Shami, who has performed well domestically, is a major point of focus. All-rounder Hardik Pandya and pacer Jasprit Bumrah are likely to be rested for the ODI series to manage their workload for upcoming T20 events. Rishabh Pant's inclusion is also under consideration.
