Notable absentees from the 17-man squad include pacer Mohammed Shami, wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan, and all-rounder Shardul Thakur. Shami has been sidelined due to an ankle injury, while Kishan requested rest. The first two Test matches will take place in Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam, respectively. The series, starting on January 25, will see Rohit Sharma leading the team, with Jasprit Bumrah as vice-captain. Additionally, young wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel has received his maiden call-up.
