Hardik Pandya is to join India’s side currently touring New Zealand, while KL Rahul is set to feature for India A, who are currently in the midst of a limited-overs series against England Lions.
The inclusion of Pandya and Rahul in their respective squads follows on from the BCCI’s decision to lift the suspensions they received for making controversial comments on an Indian television show.
The BCCI has provisionally lifted the suspensions handed to Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul, pending the appointment of an ombudsman.

A statement from the BCCI read: "Hardik Pandya will be sent to New Zealand to join the team at the earliest and KL Rahul will join the India A squad to play the last 3 one-day games against England Lions."
India still have 4 ODIs to play in New Zealand, set to be followed by 3 T20Is.
