The BCCI has confirmed that head coach Gautam Gambhir, chief selector Ajit Agarkar, Centre of Excellence head VVS Laxman, captains Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer, and board secretary Devajit Saikia will attend the September 3 meeting in person.

The meeting will address India's long-term preparations for the 2027 ODI World Cup, including player workload management and injury recovery protocols. The board expects to set clear return-to-play timelines for injured players ahead of the New Zealand tour.
