Overview of England's ODI Squad

On Friday, England revealed a 16-player roster for the upcoming three-match ODI series against India, commencing on July 14 at Edgbaston. Notably, uncapped all-rounder James Coles has earned his first ODI selection after previously being part of England's T20I squad against India.

Key Players and Squad Composition

Fast bowler Josh Tongue, who is also looking forward to his ODI debut, has been included following his impressive performances in Test cricket, particularly during the Ashes series in late 2025, as reported by the ICC. The pace attack sees the return of Gus Atkinson and Saqib Mahmood. Harry Brook will lead the team, which includes experienced players like Jos Buttler, Joe Root, Adil Rashid, Jofra Archer, and Sam Curran.

England enters this series on the heels of a 2-1 ODI victory over Sri Lanka in January, bouncing back strongly after losing the first match. However, several key players, including Zak Crawley, Brydon Carse, Jamie Overton, and Luke Wood, will not be part of the squad.

ODI Series Schedule

The ODI series will kick off at Edgbaston on July 14, followed by the second match in Cardiff on July 16, and concluding with the final game at Lord's on July 19.

Current T20I Series Status

Meanwhile, the Indian team is currently engaged in a five-match T20I series. In the first T20I, India set a challenging target of 189/7, thanks to a quick-fire 59 off 24 balls from Abhishek Sharma and a steady 68 from Shreyas Iyer, complemented by Shivam Dube's unbeaten 42. Despite an early collapse in the top order, Abhishek Sharma's aggressive innings revitalized the innings before Shreyas Iyer stabilized the middle overs. However, rain interrupted the match, resulting in a no-result.

Complete England Squad

The England squad for the ODI series includes: Harry Brook (c), Rehan Ahmed, Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson, Tom Banton, Jacob Bethell, Jos Buttler, James Coles, Sam Curran, Liam Dawson, Ben Duckett, Will Jacks, Saqib Mahmood, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, and Josh Tongue.
