India Names ODI Squad for England Tour with Kohli and Bumrah Returning

India Names ODI Squad for England Tour with Kohli and Bumrah ReturningPreviousNext

India announced a 15-member ODI squad for the upcoming three-match series against England starting July 14, led by Shubman Gill with Shreyas Iyer as vice-captain. Veteran players Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were included, though Kohli's participation depends on fitness clearance following a hamstring injury. Jasprit Bumrah returns to the ODI setup after nearly three years. Hardik Pandya was omitted due to fitness concerns, and Yashasvi Jaiswal, who impressed against Afghanistan, was not selected. The squad features a mix of experienced and emerging players, with matches scheduled at Edgbaston, Sophia Gardens, and Lord's.
