Shreyas Iyer's recovery has been delayed till January, and this rules out his hopes of a T20I comeback, as in the same month India's T20 World Cup 2026 squad will be announced.
India will be co-hosting the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 alongside Sri Lanka in the February-March window, with 20 teams participating in it, and the competition is likely to start on February 7.
India will be hosting New Zealand in a five-match T20I series in January before the T20 World Cup 2026, and with the short turnaround, the same squad that will play the marquee tournament will lock horns with the Kiwis.

"With only 10 T20Is left before the T20 World Cup, you won't see many changes happening in the squad proper unless someone is ruled out due to any specific injury," a source privy to development told PTI on condition of anonymity.
