• Shubman Gill and Mohammed Siraj are likely to be left out as selectors prioritise workload management and red-ball commitments.
• Jasprit Bumrah has conveyed his availability and is expected to spearhead India’s pace attack if selected.
• Suryakumar Yadav has cleared his fitness test and will remain India’s T20I captain for the tournament.
