The Indian team is all set to play their second match of the T20I series against England on July 3 at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground, Stretford.
The first match of the series was abandoned due to the rain. It’s going to be interesting, who will win the second match and gets the first point in the series.
Ahead of the second clash, England announced their ODI squad for the upcoming series against India.
England Squad:
Harry Brook (c), Tom Banton (wk), Jacob Bethell, Joe Root, Ben Duckett, Jos Buttler (wk), Will Jacks, Rehan Ahmed, Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson, James Coles, Sam Curran, Liam Dawson, Saqib Mahmood, Adil Rashid, Josh Tongue.
England have announced a 16-player ODI squad for the upcoming three-match series against India. James Coles, who plays for Sussex, has received his first ODI call-up. Fast bowlers Josh Tongue, who is yet to play an ODI for England, and Jofra Archer, who returns after his last ODI in November last year, have also been picked.
Gus Atkinson and Saqib Mahmood are back in the squad after missing the Sri Lanka tour earlier this year. Harry Brook will continue to lead the ODI team and is also one of the favourites to become England’s next Test captain.
Compared to the 15-player squad that toured Sri Lanka earlier this year, England have made four changes. Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson, Saqib Mahmood, and James Coles have been added to the squad. They replace Brydon Carse, Zak Crawley, Jamie Overton, and Luke Wood.
The rest of the squad remains the same as England continue preparing for the 2027 ODI World Cup in South Africa.
India ODI squad for England tour:
Shubman Gill (Captain), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli*, Shreyas Iyer (Vice-Captain), KL Rahul (WK), Ishan Kishan (WK), Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana, Arshdeep Singh, Gurnoor Brar
