3 Indian players who could be dropped from the next ODI squad

India wrapped up their three-match home ODI series against West Indies with a 2-1 victory, with matches played in Thiruvananthapuram, Guwahati and New Chandigarh on September 27, September 30 and October 3, respectively. The 15-man squad was captained by Shubman Gill, with KL Rahul serving as vice-captain.

Several players were absent from the West Indies ODI squad due to a clash with the Asian Games. With those players expected to return for the upcoming five-match ODI series in New Zealand, some members of the current squad could find themselves on the outside looking in.

1. Ravindra Jadeja

Ravindra Jadeja had not been part of India's ODI squad for the England tour that preceded the West Indies series. He was recalled for the home series against West Indies, but his last ODI appearance before that recall had been during the series against New Zealand in January 2026.

Jadeja was dropped from the playing XI after two matches in the West Indies series, contributing little with either bat or ball. With Axar Patel and Washington Sundar both expected to return to the ODI setup after the Asian Games, the left-arm spinning all-rounder could find it difficult to retain his place in the squad for the New Zealand tour.
