After the conclusion of the T20I series that India won 4-1, the Men in Blue and England will lock horns in a three-match ODI series starting with the first ODI in Nagpur on Thursday (6 February). The ODI series will act as a final dress rehearsal for the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy, which begins on 19 February.
**LIVE Score: India vs England 1st ODI in Nagpur**Rohit Sharma will lead India whereas other seniors including Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer also feature in the squad. One notable absentee from the squad, however, is pacer Jasprit Bumrah . Bumrah had sustained a back spasm during the fifth Test against Australia in Sydney and visited his personal doctor in New Zealand. Bumrah was initially named in India’s squad for the Champions Trophy and was expected to play the third ODI against England in Ahmedabad.
While Bumrah is part of India’s Champions Trophy squad, there’s no official word yet on if he would be fit in time for the tournament. Bumrah is currently in Bengaluru for an assessment of his injury and his participation in the Champions Trophy is reportedly dependent on the outcome of his assessment.
Also in the Men in Blue’s squad for the England ODIs is Mohammed Shami, who has not played an ODI since the 2023 World Cup final against Australia due to an ankle injury. Shami, though, did make his international comeback during the T20I series against England, in which he picked up three wickets .
England announced their playing XI for Thursday’s series opener on Wednesday, with the biggest takeaway being the return of Joe Root . Root will play his first ODI since the 2023 Cricket World Cup.
