England vs India ODI series: Starting on Thursday, February 6, the Men in Blue will take on England in a three-match ODI series with the goal of better preparing for the forthcoming Champions Trophy. In the just-finished T20I series, the hosts did defeat England 4-1.
Star players like Mohammed Shami, Ravindra Jadeja, and Virat Kohli are also playing in this series, while Rohit Sharma will be leading the squad from the front. Varun Chakravarthy, India’s top mystery spinner, was also included in the squad for this series because of his outstanding play in the just-finished Twenty20 International series, in which he claimed 14 wickets.
Jasprit Bumrah, the team’s premier fast bowler, is one of the greatest absences. He has not played competitive cricket since suffering a back injury during last month’s 5th Test match against Australia. A final decision on Bumrah’s participation in the Champions Trophy will be made when he lands in Bengaluru early this week.
With teams like Pakistan, Bangladesh, and New Zealand, the Men in Blue have been assigned to Group A for the mega-event. They will face Bangladesh in their tournament opener and play all of their group-stage games in Dubai.
The three-match ODI series versus England will be the main emphasis before the mega-event.
