Shreyas Iyer was named vice-captain of the ODI team, while Suryakumar Yadav was retained as T20I skipper as expected with Gill being his deputy. Kohli, who will turn 37 next month, had reached out to the selectors earlier to seek clarity about his future in the ODI team, a source told The Indian Express. They have been asked to play domestic white-ball cricket to remain sharp with ODI matches few and far between before the T20 World Cup early next year.

In his maiden Test series as captain, Gill amassed 754 runs in five matches in England, averaging 75.40 with four centuries.
