Team India will prepare for CT 2025 with the ODI series against England
Let us tell you that the England team will tour India next year i.e. in January 2025. This tour will start with a five-match T20 series. After this, the ODI series will start from February 6. Team India is looking at the ODI series as a preparation for the Champion Trophy. Because the Champion Trophy will be played immediately after this series. At present, there is no news of any program of this ICC event. But according to Pakistani news channels and newspapers, this ICC event will start from February 19.
Rohit Sharma will captain
In such a situation, BCCI will give chance to almost the same players in Team India’s squad who will be in India’s team for the Champions Trophy. Talking about captaincy, this responsibility can be on Rohit Sharma’s shoulders. Along with this, he can also handle the responsibility of opening.
If we talk about vice-captaincy, whichever player will be in the role of vice-captain in this series, he will get the vice-captaincy in the Champions Trophy. There is no clarity yet about who will get the vice-captaincy. But there is a possibility that Shubman Gill may be in this role.
These 9 balls will get a chance
Apart from this, if we talk about other players apart from Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer can be selected. Of course, both of them are currently out of the team (Team India). But BCCI can give them a chance considering their performance in the ODI World Cup. Because they had shown good performance in the ODI World Cup. After that India has not played many ODI matches, due to which other players have not got a chance to try.
This could be the reason for his inclusion in the ODI series against England. Along with this, Jaspreet Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj and Mohammad Shami can also get a chance. Along with them, Riyan Parag, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar and Kuldeep Yadav can be selected as spinners. That means there will be a total of 9 bowling options in the Indian team including Hardik Pandya.
Probable Team India for the ODI series against England
Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, Riyan Parag, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Mohammed Shami
