Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced India’s squad for upcoming limited-overs series against England starting on July 7 with the T20I series. Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja have been rested for the first T20I. They have been included in the T20I squad for the remaining two T20Is to be played on July 9 and July 10.

 

Mohammed Shami has not been included in the T20I squad. Earlier, there were reports that Shami is not in scheme of things for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia. KL Rahul, who is recovering from groin injury, has not been included in both squads. Kuldeep Yadav is missing from the squad as well.
