India begin their three-match ODI series against England at Edgbaston on Tuesday, desperate to salvage something meaningful from a tour that delivered a 4-0 T20I whitewash and cost them their world no. 1 ranking in the shortest format.
The complexion of the squad changes entirely for this leg. Shubman Gill takes the captaincy, while the returns of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah restore the experience that Shreyas Iyer’s youthful T20I side conspicuously lacked in unfamiliar English conditions.

England, meanwhile, arrive with their tails up under Harry Brook. Fresh from dismantling India across five T20Is, they welcome back Joe Root and will fancy their chances of completing a clean sweep of the entire white-ball tour on home soil.
