The ODI squad may also get a new pace option in Prince Yadav, who has impressed with his pace and accuracy in the IPL.
If Bumrah is rested, Mohammad Siraj will lead the attack, while Prasidh Krishna is also expected to be a part of the squad.
Another fitness call will revolve around Hardik Pandya, who has battled back problems during the IPL. His all-round role is important in the ODI set-up, but the selectors will not want to take the risk if he is not fully fit for the match.
With the Test and ODI squads likely to overlap only partially, today’s selection meeting could provide a clearer picture of India’s immediate priorities across formats.
