Team India’s ODI Squad for England Tour Likely This Week: Kohli, Rohit, and Big Debates Ahead
The wait is almost over. India’s ODI squad for the England tour is expected to be announced any day now.
The series starts July 14 at Edgbaston. And this is not just any series. It is a big step in India’s preparations for the 2027 ODI World Cup.
The T20I team is now being led by Shreyas Iyer. But the ODI squad will have its own set of challenges and choices.
Chief selector Ajit Agarkar has hinted that Virat Kohli could return to the ODI setup. He has been out with a hamstring injury. But if fit, he walks straight back in.
Rohit Sharma, on the other hand, may not have it so easy. His recent form in the Afghanistan series will be under the scanner. The selectors will take a close look before taking a call.
There are quite a few spots up for grabs. And everyone has an opinion.
- Is Hardik Pandya fully fit? Will he bowl? These are questions the selectors need answers to.
- Jasprit Bumrah: The pace spearhead. But workload management is always a factor.
- Dhruv Jurel has impressed. Sanju Samson has been waiting for a long run. Who gets the nod?
- Young Pacers: India’s fast bowling bench is getting stronger by the day. Some exciting young names are pushing hard for inclusion.
This squad will tell us a lot about India’s thinking for the 2027 World Cup. Who do they trust? Who are they grooming for the future? And who is no longer in their plans?
