Shikhar Dhawan will be back in Blue after a long time. this is the only format in which he’s still a regular for India and would want to keep his place till the next World Cup.

Hardik Pandya last played an ODI nearly a year ago, and India will keep a close eye on how he manages his workload in the format.
