Pant, Jurel Dropped for NZ ODIs? Ishan Kishan Set for Recall

  • Rishabh Pant and Dhruv Jurel are likely to be dropped from India's ODI squad for the New Zealand series.
  • Ishan Kishan is being considered for a recall as the reserve wicketkeeper-batter, potentially replacing Pant behind KL Rahul.
  • Kishan's strong performance in the Vijay Hazare Trophy and his past ODI double century are backing his return.
  • Concerns exist over Pant's shot-making consistency in shorter formats; Jurel is likely out due to Shubman Gill's return.
  • The selection committee will meet virtually on Saturday; Shreyas Iyer remains unavailable due to injury.

Why It Matters: India's ODI squad for NZ likely to see Pant, Jurel dropped, with Ishan Kishan making a comeback.
