India vs England: Rohit Sharma To Lead In ODIs And T20Is, Arshdeep Singh Gets Maiden ODI Call-up

The BCCI on Thursday announced Team India’s squads for the white-ball series against England to be played after the rescheduled fifth Test. India and England will play three T20Is, followed by as many ODIs, from July 7 to 17. After being ruled out of the rescheduled fifth Test, skipper Rohit Sharma will make his return for the white-ball games, according to a BCCI release. Rohit Sharma had tested positive for COVID-19 during India’s tour game against Leicestershire. Meanwhile, young pacer Arshdeep Singh also received his maiden ODI call-up. Arshdeep was part of India’s squad for the two-match T20I series against Ireland, but failed to find a place in the playing XI in both games.

The BCCI had earlier announced that pacer Jasprit Bumrah will lead Team India in the rescheduled fifth Test, with Rishabh Pant also being named as vice-captain.

The match will be played from July 1-5 at Edgbaston in Birmingham.

“The All-India Senior Selection Committee has picked the squads for the three-match T20I and ODI series against England to be played after the fifth Test,” the BCCI said in a statement on Thursday.
