Harshit Rana a 23-year-old pacer has been selected to replace Bumrah in the final 15-man squad.

A significant alteration to Indias lineup involves the exclusion of opener Yashasvi Jaiswal from the final team with mystery spinner Varun Chakaravarthy replacing him. Jaiswal and Chakaravarthy both made their One Day International debuts in the series against England. Chakaravarthy emerged as a strong candidate following his outstanding performance in the T20I series against England where he took 14 wickets across five matches and was awarded the Player of the Series. In 2024 Jaiswal emerged as Indias leading run-scorer in all formats although he has participated in just one ODI so far predominantly accumulating his runs in Test matches.
