There is a gap of nearly three weeks between India’s last T20I match against South Africa and the start of the ODI series against New Zealand. The board has urged players to feature in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, which begins on December 24. Fans will also get a chance to see international players in action.
Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have already confirmed that they will be available for the Vijay Hazare Trophy. The selectors have also asked senior players such as Shubman Gill, Jasprit Bumrah, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, and Suryakumar Yadav to play at least two matches for their respective state teams.
The board has made it clear that the same rules apply to everyone in the squad. Notably, the move also counters claims that the selectors and head coach Gautam Gambhir are singling out players like Kohli and Rohit.

Jasprit Bumrah flew back home before the third T20I because of a personal emergency. A close family member is in the hospital, and Bumrah decided to be with his family during this time. His return later in the series remains possible, but his family’s recovery is the top priority.
