England Names 17-Man Squad for T20I Series Against India, James Coles IncludedPreviousNext

England has announced a 17-member squad for the upcoming five-match T20I series against India, starting July 1. Harry Brook will captain the side, with uncapped all-rounder James Coles earning his maiden call-up following strong performances for England Lions and domestic T20 leagues. Jordan Cox, Sonny Baker, and Saqib Mahmood return to the squad, while Brydon Carse and Jamie Overton miss out due to injuries. The series will be played across five venues in England, with scheduling considerations due to an overlapping Test series against New Zealand.
