England Announce ODI Squad
England have unveiled their 16-member squad for the three-match ODI series against India later this month. The biggest talking points are the inclusion of uncapped all-rounder James Coles and fast bowler Josh Tongue, who have both earned opportunities in the national side ahead of a challenging series against India.
New Faces In The Squad
James Coles receives his maiden England ODI call-up after impressing with his all-round performances, while Josh Tongue strengthens England's pace attack. The selectors have also included experienced seamers Gus Atkinson and Saqib Mahmood as they prepare to face a strong Indian lineup led by Shubman Gill.
Archer Returns, India Ready
Jofra Archer is set to return to ODI cricket for the first time since November 2025, providing England with a major boost. India are expected to field a near full-strength squad, with Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah available, while Virat Kohli's participation depends on his fitness.
Series Schedule
The three-match ODI series will be played on July 14, July 16 and July 19 in Birmingham, Cardiff and Lord's respectively. With both teams preparing for future ICC events, the series promises to be an important contest featuring experienced stars alongside exciting new talents.
