Under the guidance of new head coach Gautam Gambhir, the selection process has been marked by a clear focus on future roles and specific requirements, leading to notable inclusions and exclusions from the squad.

Following the T20 World Cup, India is scheduled for a five-match T20I series in Zimbabwe in July, during which senior players are expected to be rested. According to recent reports, Gambhir will not be traveling with the team to Zimbabwe.
