Prithvi Shaw has returned to the India T20 squad ahead of New Zealand's tour of India beginning on January 18. In July 2021 against Sri Lanka, Shaw made his final T20I appearance for India.

In the shortest form, Hardik Pandya will continue to captain the team in the absence of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. From the Sri Lanka series, Shivam Mavi, Mukesh Kumar, and Jitesh Sharma were kept. Another notable name on the T20s team was Washington Sundar. Sundar returns after a layoff due to injury.

All-rounder Shahbaz Ahmed was brought back to the team for the ODI series after nearly a year. For the 50-over format series, wicketkeeper K.S. Bharat was also named to the roster. Due to K.L. Rahul's absence from the team because of family obligations, Hardik Pandya will serve as vice captain during the ODI series.
