The three-match 2026 England v India ODI series, from July 14 to 19, sees Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah return to the Indian team after prolonged absences.
Kohli will play his first game for the national side since January. Bumrah has not played a ODI since the 2023 ODI World Cup final. India have named an experienced squad with Rohit Sharma also back alongside captain Shubman Gill.
India, the top-ranked ODI side, will be looking for an upturn in their fortunes on this tour, which so far has seen 2-0 and 4-0 defeats to Ireland and England respectively in T20Is.
England, under Harry Brook, will be looking to take the momentum from the T20 series into the ODI series. They also need some decent ODI results to ensure automatic qualification for the 2027 World Cup. The top eight teams in the rankings automatically qualify and England are currently on the cut line in eighth position.
