Team India has announced an 18-member squad for the upcoming three-match ODI series against England. Suryakumar Yadav, who starred in his T20I debut scoring a 57-run knock in his debut innings along with Prasidh Krishna, and Mohammed Siraj have earned debut calls based on their domestic performances against a star-studded England side led by Eoin Morgan.
The All-India Senior Selection Committee, led by Chetan Sharma left out Manish Pandey, Mayank Agarwal, Sanju Samson, Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah, and Mohammed Shami from the ODI team that was picked for the Australia tour. Shami and Jadeja have sustained injuries during the tour of Australia and are still nursing their injuries which ruled them out of the ODI series against England.

On the other hand, Prithvi Shaw and Devdutt Padikkal, who had a stunner of a Vijay Hazare Trophy breaking a plethora of records will have to wait more before they receive their call for the ODIs. Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who returned to action after a long haul due to injury, has been included in the ODI squad after his stellar performances in the T20Is.
