The Shubman Gill-led Indian cricket team will be taking on Harry Brook’s England in the first ODI of the three-match series at Edgbaston in Birmingham on July 14 (Tuesday) in an attempt to bounce back from the humiliating thumping at the hands of Ireland and the Three Lions in the T20I format. The Men in Blue suffered 2-0 loss to the Irish side, followed by a 4-0 hammering by the English team. However, they would be eager to regain their prestige as things move to the 50-over format.
Additionally, the team that will play England differs slightly from the squad that played in the recent home assignment against Afghanistan. The return of legendary Virat Kohli is the most significant change. Due to a hamstring injury he sustained while batting in the IPL 2026 final, the veteran star missed all of the action for the past month.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) called up young left-hander Yashasvi Jaiswal to the team after it was established he would miss the series against Afghanistan. Jaiswal was removed to make room for Kohli despite scoring an incredible 110 in the third game.
Senior players Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Jasprit Bumrah, who were absent from the T20I series, will boost the confidence of the visitors with their experience and presence. They will give a struggling team support with both bat and ball against England’s aggressive approach with much-needed steadiness. After a lackluster white-ball performance, India will be hoping to restore momentum and confidence with the switch to the ODI format.
