England name 16-man squad for India ODI series, pace duo earn recalls
England have named a 16-man squad for the three-match ODI series against India, recalling pacers Gus Atkinson and Saqib Mahmood while handing Sussex all-rounder James Coles his maiden ODI call-up.
England have named a 16-man squad for the upcoming three-match ODI series against India, with fast bowlers Gus Atkinson and Saqib Mahmood returning to the setup. Sussex all-rounder James Coles received his maiden ODI call-up, while Nottinghamshire pacer Josh Tongue retained his place despite yet to make his debut in the 50-over format.
The series, which follows the ongoing five-match T20I contest between the two sides, will begin at Edgbaston on July 14 before moving to Sophia Gardens in Cardiff on July 16. The third and final ODI will be played at Lord's on July 19. Harry Brook will continue to lead England, with experienced campaigners Joe Root, Jos Buttler, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid and Sam Curran also included in the squad.

Atkinson returns to England's white-ball squad for the first time since the tour of India in early 2025, having spent much of the last year focusing on red-ball cricket and recovering from fitness setbacks. Mahmood, meanwhile, continues his comeback after injuries interrupted his international career, with the Lancashire quick featuring in England's ongoing T20I series against India.
JAMES COLES REWARDED AFTER IMPRESSIVE RISE
The biggest talking point in the squad is the inclusion of 21-year-old James Coles, who is in line to make his ODI debut. The Sussex all-rounder has enjoyed an impressive rise through the domestic ranks after starring for England Lions and producing consistent performances in county cricket.
Coles had also earned his maiden England call-up for the T20I series against India earlier this month, underlining the selectors' faith in one of the country's brightest young talents.
England have otherwise retained the core of their white-ball squad, with Tom Banton, Jacob Bethell, Ben Duckett, Will Jacks and Rehan Ahmed offering depth in the batting department, while Archer, Atkinson, Mahmood, Tongue and Curran provide a varied pace attack alongside the experience of Rashid and Liam Dawson in the spin department.
