A three-match ODI series between India and New Zealand will start from January 11. Team India's announcement for this series will be made tomorrow, January 3. Shubman Gill will make a comeback after recovering from an injury, and he will be entrusted with the captaincy. Due to the injury, he did not play in the ODI series and also missed the last two matches of the T20 series. This shattered the dream of the T20 World Cup.

Before the series, Shubman Gill will play two consecutive matches for Punjab in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Punjab's first match will be against Sikkim on January 3 and the second against Goa on January 6. While recovering from a leg injury in the T20 series, he is practicing with Punjab. These matches will help him regain form, and after January 7, he will leave with Team India for the New Zealand series.

Additionally, fast bowler Arshdeep Singh is also likely to play in these matches. It will be interesting to see whether Arshdeep is selected for the ODI series or given rest. There is talk of him securing a place in the ODI team as he was part of the T20 series and the World Cup.
