England have announced a 16-player squad for the upcoming three-match ODI series against India, which begins on July 14 at Edgbaston. Uncapped all-rounder James Coles has received his first ODI call-up after previously being part of England's T20I squad against India. Fast bowler Josh Tongue, who is also awaiting his ODI debut, has been included after impressing in Test cricket, particularly during the 2025 Ashes series, according to the ICC website.
Key inclusions and returns
The pace attack has been strengthened by the return of Gus Atkinson and Saqib Mahmood. Harry Brook will continue to captain the side, which also features senior players such as Jos Buttler, Joe Root, Adil Rashid, Jofra Archer, and Sam Curran. The squad includes a mix of experienced campaigners and emerging talent, with Tom Banton, Jacob Bethell, and Liam Dawson also named.
England come into the series on the back of a 2-1 ODI series win over Sri Lanka in January, recovering strongly after losing the opening game. However, several key players are missing from the squad, including Zak Crawley, Brydon Carse, Jamie Overton, and Luke Wood.
Series schedule and context
The three-match ODI series will begin at Edgbaston on July 14, followed by the second ODI in Cardiff on July 16, with the final match scheduled at Lord's on July 19. Currently, the Indian team is participating in a five-match T20I series against England. In the first T20I, India posted 189/7, powered by a rapid 59 off 24 balls from Abhishek Sharma and a composed 68 from Shreyas Iyer, with a late boost from Shivam Dube's unbeaten 42. However, rain halted play, leading to a no-result.
