Get ready for the exciting IND vs ENG series as three Indian cricketers make their much-awaited return to ODI cricket after the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. Witness the resurgence of these stars as they aim to shine on the international stage once again. Stay tuned for all the action!
Mohammed Sham
Mohammed Shami’s return to India’s ODI squad is one of the most anticipated comebacks. The experienced pacer last donned the blue jersey in the 2023 World Cup final against Australia in Ahmedabad. However, an ankle injury sidelined him for over a year.
Shami’s strong performances in domestic cricket have paved the way for his comeback, and he will lead the pace attack alongside Harshit Rana and Arshdeep Singh. His experience and skill will be key to India’s success in the upcoming series.
Ravindra Jadeja
Ravindra Jadeja is set to return to ODI cricket following the heart-wrenching defeat in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 final. During the tournament, Jadeja showcased his brilliance, including a match-winning performance against South Africa in the group stage.
This time, however, Jadeja faces stiff competition from Axar Patel and Washington Sundar in the spin department. With India opting for three spinners and only three pacers in the squad, Jadeja’s all-round abilities could prove decisive.
Hardik Pandya
Hardik Pandya’s last ODI outing wasn’t the 2023 World Cup final but a group-stage clash against Bangladesh in Pune, where he suffered an ankle injury that ruled him out of the tournament.
Now fully fit, Pandya returns as India’s sole fast-bowling all-rounder. He is expected to play a critical role as the third seamer during the England ODI series and the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. India will also rely on Pandya to fill the finisher’s role—a key area they struggled with in the 2023 World Cup final.
