Shubman Gill is set to be rested for the three-match T20I series against Bangladesh and out-of-favour wicket-keeper batter Ishan Kishan could possibly be finally considered but only in case of Rishabh Pant getting some time off. (More Cricket News)

"Yes, Shubman will be rested for the Bangladesh T20I series. If you look at the fixture, the three T20Is will be played on October 7 (Gwalior), 10 (Delhi) and 13 (Hyderabad). Now first Test vs New Zealand starts October 16.

"So with a turnaround of three days, it is important to give Gill a break," a BCCI source told PTI on the condition of anonymity.

If the rested players include Rishabh Pant, it could pave way for Ishan Kishan's return who has been out of the national side after being at odds with the BCCI for not featuring in long form domestic tournaments.

However, recently Kishan turned up for his Duleep Trophy side and notched up a fine century. The Jharkhand player last featured in the Indian team in November 2023 but there is a possibility that he could make a comeback with selectors likely to reconsider him.
