In the latest update, Rohit Sharma, the captain, and Virat Kohli, who rested during the first two games of the series, are set to make their return to the lineup. However, Mohammed Shami, who played in the initial two games, and Hardik Pandya, who was absent in the earlier matches, are not part of the current squad.
According to the ESPNCricinfo report, due to a limited roster of only 13 players available, India might consider involving local first-class players from the Saurashtra team, if required, to contribute in the field during the match.
