3 Indian players who deserved a place in the ODI squad for NZ tour
The BCCI named split squads for the five-match ODI series against New Zealand, but several notable names were left out of both groups.
1. Yashasvi Jaiswal
Yashasvi Jaiswal was not selected in either of the two ODI squads for the New Zealand tour. This included the squad for ODIs 4 and 5, where Shubman Gill was not available as captain.
Jaiswal is a left-handed opener who has impressed across formats for India. His omission from both squads, even when an additional opener could have been considered for the later games, made his absence a notable one. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rohit Sharma were among the top-order options retained across both groups, but Jaiswal's consistent performances in international cricket made him a credible candidate for a place in the touring party. India will also play two Tests against New Zealand after the ODI series concludes.
