New Delhi
\nWicket-keeper Dinesh Karthik and pacer Shardul Thakur were today recalled for the three-match ODI series against New Zealand while<\/p>\n
selectors continued to ignore senior spinners Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Aswhin.<\/p>\n
Opener Shikhar Dhawan has also returned to the ODI team after missing the series against Australia due to his wife’s illness. However, he did<\/p>\n
play the T20 series against Australia.<\/p>\n
Karthik, who last played for India during the West Indies tour in July and was also a part of the Champions Trophy squad, has been picked<\/p>\n
again.<\/p>\n
The 32-year-old was named in the India T20 squad for the recently-concluded Australia series but did not get a game.<\/p>\n
Speedster Thakur was ignored for the series against Australia after playing in Sri Lanka. Now, he has been picked in place of Umesh Yadav,<\/p>\n
who has been dropped.<\/p>\n
Notable names missing from the squad are of batsman K L Rahul, Ashwin and Jadeja. The spin duo has not played for India since the Test<\/p>\n
series in Sri Lanka two months ago.<\/p>\n
Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal and Axar Patel are the three specialist spinners in their absence.<\/p>\n
Ashwin and Jadeja are currently playing the Ranji Trophy for their respective states and the former had even cleared the yo-yo fitness test.<\/p>\n
The Team: Virat Kohli (captain), Rohit Sharma (vice-captain), Shikhar Dhawan, Ajinkya Rahane, Manish Pandey, Kedar Jadhav, Dinesh<\/p>\n
Karthik, MS Dhoni (wk), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Shardul<\/p>\n
