IND vs ENG ODI Series 2026: The series between India and England is underway. The T20 series has just concluded, with the Indian team suffering a crushing defeat. Now, the ODI series is set to begin. Not only will Team India have a new captain for the ODI series, but the squad itself looks quite different. Here are the details regarding the start date and match schedule so you can plan ahead if you wish to watch the games.
Team India suffers back-to-back series whitewashes under Shreyas Iyer’s captaincy
The first leg of the India vs. England series has concluded, proving to be a painful and disappointing experience for the Indian team. Team India was whitewashed in the five-match series. While the opening match was abandoned due to rain, the team went on to lose four consecutive matches. This marks the second consecutive series defeat for Team India under Shreyas Iyer’s captaincy; the team had previously suffered a complete whitewash in the series against Ireland. Now, the focus shifts to the ODI series, where hopes for a victory remain.
The first match of the India vs. England ODI series is scheduled for July 14
The ODI series will consist of three matches. The first match is set for July 14 in Birmingham. The second match will take place on July 16, and the third and final match is scheduled for July 19. All matches will be completed by next Sunday, marking the conclusion of the series.
Shubman Gill to captain; Shreyas Iyer named ODI vice-captain
Shubman Gill will lead Team India in the upcoming ODI series. Shreyas Iyer, who captained the T20 side, will serve as the vice-captain for this format. Furthermore, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will also be seen in action during this series; these two players are currently generating a great deal of buzz. However, given the fate Team India met during the T20 series, the team certainly needs to remain cautious.
India’s updated squad for the England ODIs: Shubman Gill (Captain), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer (Vice-Captain), KL Rahul (Wicketkeeper), Ishan Kishan (Wicketkeeper), Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Shivam Dube, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Prasidh Krishna, Arshdeep Singh, Gurnoor Brar, Prince Yadav.
