Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav have been included in India’s provisional 15-man squad for the Champions Trophy, set to start on February 19. This same squad will face England in three ODIs in early February. Harshit Rana has been added as a backup for Bumrah, who may not be fully fit for the first two games of the bilateral series.
The 15-man squad will be captained by Rohit Sharma, with Shubman Gill serving as his vice-captain. The squad also features Yashasvi Jaiswal, who earns his maiden ODI call-up and is expected to be the reserve opener for the Champions Trophy.
The final squad for the Champions Trophy must be submitted to the ICC by February 11.
India will play three bilateral ODIs against England on February 6, 9, and 12—marking their first 50-over games since their tour of Sri Lanka in August last year—before heading into the Champions Trophy. India is placed in Group A for the Champions Trophy and will kick off their campaign against Bangladesh on February 20, followed by matches against Pakistan on February 23 and New Zealand on March 2. All of India’s matches will take place in Dubai, as the government has not permitted the team to travel to Pakistan.
