India have bolstered their pace options by adding Auqib Nabi to the squad for the first three ODIs of the five-match series against New Zealand. The 29-year-old, who made his debut in the second ODI against the West Indies, was initially selected for the fourth and fifth matches but will now be available from the opening game on November 4.

The Men’s Selection Committee retained the rest of the originally announced squad for the first three matches. Nitish Kumar Reddy is included only for the first ODI, while Nabi's inclusion provides additional depth to the pace attack ahead of the series against New Zealand.
