Joe Root has returned to the national white-ball setup after more than a year as England named their squads for the ODI and T20I series for the tour of India. Root has been picked for the ODIs, and he will be making his comeback to the 50-over format since last playing in the ODI World Cup match against Pakistan back in November 2023 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
Root is only 436 runs short of breaking Eoin Morgan’s record for most ODI runs for England. All-rounder Ben Stokes did not feature in any of the squads after he sustained a left hamstring injury during the third Test against New Zealand earlier in December.
Rehan Ahmed, who has already played 21 international matches for England, is a part of the T20I squad. In 10 T20Is, the youngster has taken 12 wickets at an economy rate of 9.67.
The T20I series between India and England is set to take place from January 22 to February 2. Kolkata, Chennai, Rajkot, Pune and Mumbai will host the matches. The three ODIs will be staged on February 6, 9 and 12 in Nagpur, Cuttack and Ahmedabad.
The England team is scheduled to depart for India on Friday, January 17, 2025. Jos Buttler has been named the skipper for both the ODI and T20I series.
After the hectic tour of India, England will take part in the Champions Trophy, which will take place in the hybrid model.
