The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) have named England’s playing XI for the first IND vs ENG ODI 2025, which sees star batter Joe Root return to coloured clothing for the first time since the ICC Cricket World Cup 2025. Apart from the regulars, Saqib Mahmood, who starred in the fourth T20I is included in the XI instead of Mark Wood.
Wicketkeeper Jamie Smith misses out after being ruled out of first two ODIs. The IND vs ENG 1st ODI will be played at Nagpur on February 7.
