India Names ODI Squad Excluding Yashasvi Jaiswal; Varun Chakravarthy Ruled Out of Ireland T20Is
India's ODI squad for the upcoming England series excludes opener Yashasvi Jaiswal despite his recent century, as Virat Kohli returns pending fitness clearance. Jaiswal, who has scored two centuries in six ODIs, continues to face selection challenges in limited-overs formats. Meanwhile, star spinner Varun Chakravarthy is ruled out of the Ireland T20I series due to a left foot injury sustained during IPL 2026, with Axar Patel leading the spin attack in his absence. The Indian team will tour Ireland for two T20Is before heading to England for a five-match T20I series.
