Shubman Gill has been appointed vice-captain for the upcoming three-match ODI series against New Zealand, which begins on December 11. KL Rahul, who captained the previous ODI series against South Africa, has been included in the squad but not as vice-captain. Rahul will serve as the primary wicketkeeper-batter for the series. The squad selection on December 3 saw several changes, with Gill returning from injury to take on the vice-captaincy role.
