Mohammed Shami, who has not played for India since the ODI World Cup final in November 2023, has been picked for the ongoing five-match series, the following three ODIs and the Champions Trophy.
BCCI is reportedly considering Sitanshu Kotak as India's batting coach after recent Test losses. Scroll down to know all about him.
Kotak and Mhambrey will hold their respective positions for the next few months, ICC has reported.
Kotak said Pujara's presence was a big boost for the team.
Saurashtra registered a record chase of 372 in the quarterfinal against Uttar Pradesh, before triumphing over a Karnataka side comprising of the likes of Mayank Agarwal, Karun Nair and Manish Pandey in the semifinal.
