The India vs England ODI series will begin on January 22, with Indian cricketers donning their ‘Blue’ jerseys after a long Test schedule. They will shift their focus to white-ball cricket. With the Champions Trophy approaching as a crucial tournament, India will aim to make the most of the series to fine-tune their squad for the event.

Jasprit Bumrah has suffered a recurring injury, while Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are going through a rough patch, leading to growing concerns about their form heading into the tournament.
Indian players who might miss IND vs ENG ODI series
Jasprit Bumrah
Jasprit Bumrah suffered and injury in the IND vs AUS 5th Test and could miss the India vs England ODI series if he did not get fit. There are reports that he will be misising the series to be fit for Champions Trophy.
Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli could also be rested during the series to give him a break and allow him to focus on rectifying his form through training and improving his technique. He may use this time to prepare for the Champions Trophy and train hard in the nets to regain his form.
Mohammed Siraj
Mohammed Siraj also needs to be managed carefully, as he could suffer an injury similar to Bumrah’s. Siraj might be rested, giving opportunities to young pacers in the IND vs. ENG series, and he could be kept safe for the 2025 Champions Trophy. India has pacers like Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana, and Hardik Pandya to handle the pace attack during the series.
