Wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant has been included in the squad subject to medical clearance after being ruled out of India A's recent matches with a left-side strain. Shubman Gill will captain the side, with selectors retaining the core of the team including experienced allrounder Ravindra Jadeja and opener Yashasvi Jaiswal.
Bumrah has been selected only for the Test leg of the tour.

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma retained their places in the ODI squad.
