India face England in the 1st ODI at Edgbaston on Tuesday, aiming to bounce back after a winless Ireland and England T20I leg. The series features the return of senior players Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah, while England field a strong 16-man squad. The match will be live on Sony Sports Network and streamed via JioHotstar.
Team India is set to face England in a three-match ODI series starting Tuesday. The first IND vs ENG match will be played at Edgbaston, Birmingham, from 3:30 p.m. IST onwards. The ODI series will be crucial as the team is yet to win a game on its tour of Ireland and England. After losing both the T20Is against Ireland, the team led by Shreyas Iyer lost the T20I series 0-4 last week. The only match they didn't lose was a game that got abandoned.
All eyes will be on skipper Shubman Gill to steer the team back to winning ways. The return of veterans Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumran will also boost the team's morale. India's batting order also consists of experienced 50-over batters KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer which should help the team tackle England's pacers.
India's bowlers will need to come up with better plans against the fearless English batters who smashed them during the T20Is. Gurnoor Brar, who made an impressive start against Afghanistan at home, will face a completely different challenge with his lengths on English tracks.
Left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh will likely be seen sharing the new ball with Jasprit Bumrah. The selection committee has named Prince Yadav as a replacement for Harshit Rana, who has been ruled out of the series due to a Grade 1 hamstring injury.
It will be interesting to see if the management decides to give Kuldeep Yadav a game or they will stick to all-rounders Washington Sundar and Axar Patel to take care of the spin department. Ravi Bishnoi has also been added to the squad as Varun Chakaravarthy's replacement.
England have named a 16-player squad for the ODI series against India. Uncapped Sussex all-rounder James Coles has been included, along with Josh Tongue, who is yet to make his ODI debut. Fellow pacers Gus Atkinson and Saqib Mahmood also return to the squad.The inclusion of Joe Root in the batting lineup will add more depth, with Harry Brook, Jacob Bethell, and Jos Buttler providing the explosive firepower.
The 1st IND vs ENG ODI match will be telecast live on the Sony Sports Network TV channels.
