Shreyas Iyer could fill in for Shubman Gill as ODI captain

India's Shreyas Iyer may temporarily replace Shubman Gill as ODI captain during the New Zealand tour. A scheduling clash with Test preparations leaves only four days between the final ODI and the first Test, limiting red-ball training time. Critical players, including Gill and Jasprit Bumrah, face a direct transition from ODIs to Tests without practice matches. The BCCI is splitting support staff to address the tight schedule, while some key players might leave the ODI squad early for better preparation. These decisions follow a review of past scheduling problems that impacted team performance during previous tours.
