England's 16-Player Squad for ODI Series

On July 3, England revealed a 16-member squad for the upcoming three-match ODI series against India, commencing on July 14 at Edgbaston.

James Coles, an uncapped all-rounder, has earned his first ODI selection after being part of England's T20I squad earlier. Fast bowler Josh Tongue, who is also set to make his ODI debut, has been included following his impressive performances in Test cricket, particularly during the Ashes in late 2025, as noted 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 after a 2-1 ODI victory over Sri Lanka in January, bouncing back strongly after losing the first match.

Notable absentees from the squad include Zak Crawley, Brydon Carse, Jamie Overton, and Luke Wood.

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

Meanwhile, the Indian team is currently engaged in a five-match T20I series. In the first T20I, India scored a solid 189/7, with Abhishek Sharma contributing a quick 59 off 24 balls and Shreyas Iyer adding a composed 68, supported by Shivam Dube's unbeaten 42.

After an early collapse in the top order, Abhishek Sharma's aggressive innings helped stabilize the innings before Shreyas Iyer took charge in the middle overs. However, rain interrupted the match, resulting in a no-result.

England squad: 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, Josh Tongue.
