The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced the squad for the upcoming ODI series against England. Star batsman Virat Kohli has been named in the squad, but his selection will be subject to fitness clearance, the BCCI has revealed. Kohli, who is currently recovering from an injury, will meet the team only after passing the final fitness test.
Kohli, who suffered a hamstring injury in the IPL 2026 final, was recently ruled out of the ODI series against Afghanistan. Opener Yashaswi Jaiswal, who came into the team in his place, took advantage of the opportunity and scored a magnificent century in the last ODI. Jaiswal scored an unbeaten 110 off 86 balls in the match in Chennai and played a vital role in India’s victory. However, he was not included in the 15-man squad announced for the England series.
On the other hand, star pacer Jasprit Bumrah has returned to the ODI team. He did not play a single ODI match after the 2023 ODI World Cup final. Was selected in the 2025 Champions Trophy squad but pulled out at the last moment due to back pain. Bumrah was not selected for the recent Afghanistan series as well as the T20I tours of Ireland and England as part of workload management. The selectors picked the team for the England series without making major changes in the Indian team that swept the series 3-0 against Afghanistan. While Shubman Gill will continue as the captain, Shreyas Iyer will be the vice-captain.
India ODI Team:
Shubman Gill (captain), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli*, Shreyas Iyer (vice-captain), KL Rahul (wicketkeeper), Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), Washington Sundar, Akshar Patel, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Prasad Krishna, Harshit Rana, Arshdeep Singh, Gurnoor Brar.
