The Indian selection committee, led by Ajit Agarkar, has announced squad for the upcoming three-match ODI series against England and the ICC Champions Trophy, which will be played next month. Under Rohit Sharma’s leadership, the selectors have picked the same squad for both the assignments, but Jasprit Bumrah’s fitness is currently under the scanner, which is why Harshit Rana is picked as a cover for him in the England ODI series.

In this article, SportsTiger looks at India’s probable playing XI versus England for the ODI series at home beginning on February 6.

Indian captain Rohit Sharma has set a new standard of attacking the bowlers from the get-go in the first powerplay stage of an ODI game, which propelled his team to great success in the World Cup in 2023. Shubman Gill has been one of the most consistent run-getters in the ODI format for the past couple of years, which is why he is expected to play ahead of Yashasvi Jaiswal in the playing XI, especially since the latter is yet to debut in the 50-overs format.
