IND vs ENG: The Board of Control for Cricket in India announced the 16-member Indian squad for the first two test matches of the five-match home Test Series against England, and the series will commence on January 25th. Youngster Dhruv Jurel has been included in the squad as the backup wicketkeeper, as 25-year-old Ishan Kishan, who had taken a break from cricket due to being mentally fatigued, has not been included in the Men in Blue?s squad for the first two Test matches.



Arjuna Award winner Mohammed Shami has not been named in the squad as he is still recovering from the ankle injury he suffered during the 2023 ODI World Cup in November. Avesh Khan has been included in the team in place of Prasidh Krishna, who failed to deliver in the recently concluded two-match Test Series against South Africa.



Spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel have returned to the test squad after both of them were not included in the squad against the Proteas. Fast bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur, who didn't perform well in the South Africa test series, has been dropped from the team.

IND vs ENG: Indian Team for the first two test matches against England announced | England tour of India, 2024

ind-vs-eng-indian-team-for-the-first-two-test-matches-against-england-announced-england-tour-of-india-2024

IND vs ENG Test Series 2024: One of the most awaited Test series between the two strong rivals is just around the corner as England is touring India for a 5-match test series to be played from January 25 to March 11, 2024. This post will lead you to the much-anticipated IND vs ENG Schedule, Updated Full Squads, Venues, Timings, Streaming and Broadcasting Details.

Many are calling this tour of England a real test for Bazball, and many are backing them. A few days back, England Cricket Team's head coach Brendon McCullum said "We have got a huge challenge against a very good Indian team in five Tests in India. I am excited about it because you want to test yourself against the best side, and I genuinely believe that India are the best in their own conditions."



The first match of the IND vs ENG Test series will take place in Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on January 25. The next four red-ball matches will take place in Visakhapatnam, Rajkot, Ranchi, and Dharamsala. The English team has landed in India on Saturday, January 20.

Indian Cricket Team was asked by BCCI to reassemble at Hyderabad on January 20 for team meetings and practice sessions. Team India will be missing the services of Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane as it seems BCCI has decided to break ways with them and try new options.



As per recent reports, England's top-order batsman Harry Brook has returned home from the team's tour to India ahead of the first test, which is scheduled to start on January 25. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) stated in a press release that Brook returned to London on Sunday, January 20, for personal reasons. Brook will not return to India for the whole five-match series, and England's selectors have announced Dan Lawrence as his replacement.



Brook, a key component of the Bazball notion, will be tough to replace in both the squad and the starting lineup. Brook will most likely be replaced in the starting 11 by Ollie Pope.

IND vs ENG Test: Head Coach Rahul Dravid dropped an update as KL Rahul won't be keeping wickets in the upcoming five-match India vs England Test series. Coach Dravid made it clear that Rahul will play as a pure batsman in the playing 11.



In a press conference, Rahul Dravid stated that the selection of KL Rahul was pre-determinately done as a batsman not as a keeper. He also mentioned that they have selected two other wicketkeeper batters to keep the wickets.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/06/kl-rahul-test-century-1024x569.jpg" alt="KL Rahul doubtful to play the one-off Test against England in Edgbaston" class="wp-image-90995" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">KL Rahul | Reuters</figcaption></figure>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Rahul Dravid on KL Rahul</h4>



?Rahul will not be playing as a wicket-keeper in this series and we are clear about that in the selection itself. We have picked two other wicket-keepers and obviously Rahul did a fantastic job for us in South Africa and really played a big part in helping us draw the series,? said Dravid.



He also mentioned that instead of KL Rahul, KS Bharat, or Dhruv Jurel will keep wickets. ?But considering five Test matches (against England) and playing in these conditions the selection will be between the two other keepers we have,? he explained.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/05/pjimage-2021-11-28t071600.261-1.jpg" alt="WTC Final: India's Strongest Predicted Playing 11 for World Test Championship Final 2021-23" class="wp-image-113777" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">KS Bharat</figcaption></figure>



Bharat, who made his Test debut against Australia at home in the 2023 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, has five red-ball matches under his belt and currently heads the race. His recent match-saving 116 not out against the England Lions in Ahmedabad strengthened his case quite a bit.



It is never going to be easy to be behind the wickets considering the nature of Indian pitches, which force wicketkeepers to stand close to stumps against spinners like Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin. However, since Bharat is a designated keeper, he is best suited for the role.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Dravid on Pitch condition</h4>



The Indian pitches have always been a talking point whenever India host any red ball game. In addition, Rahul Dravid stated that he anticipates a turning track in Hyderabad. There are still two days until the game starts, but it seems that the length area for the spinners at each end was drier than the rest of the surface which indicates nothing but spin.



?It?s a hard one to say, so [we will] just have a look once it starts and figure it out. It looks a good one and may spin a little bit; how quickly and fast I am not sure, but it may spin a little bit as the game goes on,? he said.

Dravid Confirms, Not KL Rahul, THIS Player Will Keep Wickets Against England | IND vs ENG 2024

IND vs ENG: Predicting Winner of India vs England Test Series: England's hopes for resurgence in the ongoing India vs England 1st test in Hyderabad got a boost after Ollie Pope notched up an unbeaten score of 148 at the stumps on day three. The fascinating day of play gave England a fitting chance to have a fighting total up on the scoreboard and challenge Team India in their backyard.



After England was bundled out for 246 runs in the first innings, Team India culminated 436 runs and led the test match by 190 runs. The response to India's 190-run lead has been commendable from the Englishmen, who have so far scored 397 runs in the first session of day 4 of the test. 



Ollie Pope is still unbeaten in the middle, playing at a score of 187 runs, while debutant Tom Heartly is at the other end unbeaten at 22 runs. The visitors have managed to pull a lead of 207 runs, which has given them good hopes for a fightback in the fourth innings.



Coming to India and having a go at the Indians in the test matches hasn't been a piece of cake for anyone. Team India has managed to remain unbeaten in the test series since 2012. 



Former Indian captain and renowned commentator, Sourav Ganguly believes England had a good chance of putting Team India on the backfoot after they won the toss and opted to bat first. However, England couldn't produce a valiant batting partnership against the Indian bowlers, which saw them getting restricted to the score of 246 runs in the first innings.

"India will win the series, the matter is whether they will win it 4-0 or 5-0. Every Test will be decisive," said Sourav Ganguly.



"England could have won this Test match had they batted well. One cannot win against India by making 230 or 240 runs on Indian soil. Had they made 350 or 400, they could have beaten India, but they weren't able to do that. It's a tough series for England. Any team other than the Australia of that era could not create any impact here," he said



He further talked about the scope of the Bazball style of play and its utility in Indian conditions. Due to its fast nature, Bazball, according to Ganguly, will fail in India. The spin-friendly conditions do not complement that specific style of play, he said.



The five-game India vs England test series began on January 25 in Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. The action will shift to Vishakhapatnam for the second game of the series, starting on February 02. The third and fourth fixtures will be held in Rajot and Ranchi respectively. The final game of the series will be hosted in Dharmshala, Himachal Pradesh, starting March 07.

IND vs ENG Test Series: India are 2-1 up in the ongoing five-match test series after a sounding victory in Rajkot. The third test saw a double century of Yashasvi Jaiswal, the centuries of skipper Rohit Sharma and Jadeja, the fifer of Jadeja, and many other events resulting in India's dominance in the match. Here we are with the IND vs ENG Test Series Stats, Players with the Most Runs, and Most Wickets Updated After the IND vs ENG Third Test.

Two double centuries in two matches! Yashasvi Jaiswal, the 22-year-old youngster has just entered the international test arena and his name is emerging above all in the entire globe. Hitting Anderson for back-to-back three sixes and then bashing spinners on the spinning track, Jaiswal has marked his presence in this series after the three tests.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ind-vs-eng-test-series-review">IND vs ENG Test Series Review</h2>



The first test of the series was played at Hyderabad. England batted first but Indian bowlers were all over them. Bowled out on cheap, England were 190 runs behind India after the first innings. Ollie Pope's excellent 196 proved to be a revival for England and they posted a 231-run target on the board. The Indian batting failed in the chase and lost the match by 28 runs.



The second match was played at Visakhapatnam. India got a slow and shaky start as they lost two wickets under 90 runs in 30 overs. When the entire team was struggling to hold on to the crease, Jaiswal was the man of the moment as he produced a double hundred on such a surface. India got a lead of 143 runs in the first innings as Jasprit Bumrah ramped through the England batting lineup. Shubman Gill also got some runs off the bat and scored a much-awaited hundred and India managed to bundle up England 106 runs short of the target.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/02/IND-vs-ENG-2nd-Test-Day-2-Stumps-England-All-Out-1024x683.jpg" alt="IND vs ENG 2nd Test: Day 2 Stumps, England All Out at 253/10, India at 28/0, Jasprit Bumrah Took Six Wickets | India vs England 2nd Test 2024 Live" class="wp-image-126098" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IND vs ENG 2nd Test: Image Credit: X.com(@BCCI)</figcaption></figure>



The series was on equal scores now. India and England headed to Rajkot for the third test and the home team again won the toss and batted first. Sarfaraz and Dhruv Jurel were the two debutants in the match and both made their presence significant. Batting first, India posted 445 runs on the board even after falling 33 for 3 at the top. The credit goes to skipper Sharma and Number 1 all-rounder of the world Ravindra Jadeja, who posted magnificent hundreds. Sarfaraz smashed a quick half-century and Dhruv also got close to 50. 



England were finding it tough to bat even on the comparatively flatter wicket of Rajkot and only Duckett cracked the code of batting on that surface. He smashed 153 runs with a strike rate of over 100 and helped England to save the follow-on. India continued with the lead of 126 and Yashasvi Jaiswal just pounded on England's bowling unit. Gill got an unfortunate runout at a hard-scored 91, Sarfaraz bashed an amazing 68, and Yashasvi Jaiswal amassed 214 runs in the innings. Hence, India got a lead of 557 runs and there was only one visible result.

Run-out took Duckett off the park, an absolute peach from Bumrah was enough to get Crawley out of the ground. It seemed like the Englishmen had already left the chase and they were just batting as a formality. The classical spin mystery of Jadeja was all over their heads and with a fifer, Jadeja ended the match in India's favor with a record 434-run win.



Down below is the IND vs ENG Test Series Stats, Players with the Most Runs, and Most Wickets Updated After the IND vs ENG Third Test:

Who would have thought that in an IND vs ENG Test series, consisting of prominent names like Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Ben Stokes, and Joe Root, a young Indian southpaw would top the batting chart? But yes, he is there! Yashasvi Jaiswal is the highest run scorer of the series with 545 runs in 6 innings. He has the best batting average in the series well over 100 runs. 



He has struck as many as 22 sixes in the series in just 3 matches and already he has broken the 'most sixes in a series' record. India have found a gem and proudly India's cricketing future is in safe hands.



England's Ben Duckett is next on the list. With 288 runs in 3 matches, the left-handed opener has been the standout performer from the English camp. Out of his 288 runs, 153 came out in a single innings so he scored 135 runs in 5 innings before that.



Ollie Pope is third with 285 runs in his bag and Zak Crawley is sixth with 226 runs. Only three Englishmen have scored over 200 runs in the series till now and this is the reason why the scoreline is 2-1 in favor of India.

Quality and cream at the top, we have <a href="https://www.cricbuzz.com/profiles/9311/jasprit-bumrah">Jasprit Bumrah</a> at the top! Bumrah has scalped 17 wickets in the series with an average of 12.65. He has been economical as well with leaking just 2.8 runs per over. Tom Hartley of England follows him with 16 wickets. This is the first international series of Hartley and this boy has truly impressed on the stage.



With a fifer in the second innings of the Rajkot test, Jadeja is now the third-highest wicket-taker bowler in the IND vs ENG Test series with 12 wickets. Rehan Ahmed and R Ashwin have 11 wickets each and follow Jadeja on the list.

(10 March) ICC Men?s Test Team Rankings: The India vs England Test Series has finally come to an end with a result reflecting the utter domination of the Indian Team. A 4-1 series victory over England helped India to reclaim the top spot in the latest updated ICC Men's Test Team Rankings. This post contains the latest Updated ICC Men's Test Team Rankings after the IND vs ENG Test Series.

Prior to the five-match test series, India were ranked second in the ICC Test Team standings. The home side were the favorites for the series but they got a tough challenge from the visitors. The scoreline of 4-1 doesn't actually show the competition and thrill of the series as England were the only team that made it hard for Indian players to win each game.



As mentioned by the head coach of England the India tour will be the real test of Bazball, it truly was and England arguably failed it. Despite winning the first test which laid off a strong base for them to concur with India, they let India take away well-set games in favor of England in the next three tests. The Dharamshala test was the easiest win for India in the series.

With a 4-1 series win, India are the number one Test team in the ICC Team Rankings. They have played 38 Test matches in this cycle and they have a rating of 122 with 4636 points. Following them are Australia. They have played 37 matches and have a rating of 117 with 4345 points.



England are third in the rankings. They have played 49 matches and have 111 ratings. England had never lost a test series since they acquired the new brand of cricket before their India tour and this IND vs ENG Test series went as the first series loss for them.



New Zealand are ranked fourth in the latest rankings. They are currently engaged in a two-match test series against Australia and they have lost the first match. After that loss, they are now placed 4th with a 106 rating and 2939 points.

Coming back to India, following this victory, they are currently at the top of the standings in all three forms. In the ODI rankings, they are ranked first with 121 rating points, closely followed by Australia with 118 rating points. India leads the T20Is with 266 rating points, followed by England (256). With a points percentage of 68.51, India leads the ICC World Test Championship Standings table as well.



This is a similar situation that existed between September 2023 and January 2024. Following a 1-1 tie with South Africa, India dropped to the second rank in the Test Team Rankings. Following their three-match Test series victory against Pakistan at home, Australia surpassed India to take the top spot in the Test rankings.

England Cricket Team has announced the playing XI for the first ODI against India. The three-match series between the teams is all set to be played from 6th February at the VCA Stadium in Nagpur. The last two games will be played on 9th and 12th February, respectively, in Cuttack and Ahmedabad. 
England, who lost the T20I series by the margin of 4-1, have announced the strong XI for the first match of the IND vs ENG ODI series. Joe Root has made his return to the team for the first time after the ICC World Cup 2023. The premier didn't play a single ODI after the tournament and would want to make an impact. 
Ben Duckett will be opening the innings alongside Phil Salt in the first IND vs ENG ODI. The duo opened the innings in the T20I series as well but couldn't make the impact they wanted. It will be a great opportunity for them to get some runs under their belt and help the team stage a comeback. 
Joe Root will be batting at No.3 while Harry Brook has been slated to bat at No.3. The vice-captain of the England team struggled in the T20I series as he slammed just one half-century in the five games. He also was trolled a lot for his smog statement and would be keen to reply to all the critics in style. 
Captain Jos Buttler has been drafted at N0.5 in the series and it is expected that he will keep the wickets. He was the only settled batter for England in the T20I series and would want to carry on his form in the IND vs ENG ODI series. 
Liam Livingstone and Jacob Bethell are the two all-rounders picked by England in the middle order. Along with him, Byron Carse will be there as a fast-bowling all-rounder. Adil Rashid is the frontline spinner in the team. He will be holding a key for the team on ODIs as he did in T20Is. 
Jofra Archer and Saqib Mahmood are the two frontline pacers in the team. The duo were decent with the ball in the IND vs ENG T20I series.

Australia has suffered a massive blow ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. As per the reports in ESPNCricinfo, it is learned that captain Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood are all set to be ruled out of the tournament, which will begin on 19th February. 
Pat Cummins suffered an ankle injury during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 and missed the ongoing Test tour to injury due to the same and also the birth of his second child. The fast bowler since then has been out of action and hasn't resumed any kind of bowling. 
Pat Cummins hasn't gained his full fitness and it is highly likely that he will be missing the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This will be a massive blow as not only will they miss the quality bowler but also the captain, who took them to win the ICC World Cup 2023. 
In the absence of Pat Cummins, Australia is likely to give the leadership role to either Travis Head or Steve Smith. The latter has been leading the team in the ongoing Test series against Sri Lanka, and under his leadership, Australia won the first game of the series by a massive margin. 
The development was confirmed by Australia head coach Andrew McDonald, saying that Pat Cummins is highly likely to be unavailable. He also talked about giving leadership roles to Steve Smith and Travis Head. Speaking to SEN, he said:
"Pat Cummins hasn't been able to resume any type of bowling so he's heavily unlikely, so that would mean that we do need a captain. Steve Smith and Travis Head are the two that we've been having conversations with while we've been building out that Champions Trophy team along with Pat back home. They'll be the two that we look at for that leadership post." 
<h2>Josh Hazlewood is expected to be ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
Apart from Pat Cummins, star pacer Josh Hazlewood also is expected to be ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The fast bowler is battling with a hip issue, which he faced in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. He, too, hasn't bowled since then and is against time to recover. 
His absence could be a big blow as well as he has been one of the consistent players for the team. Pat Cummins, along with Hazlewood, are now among the three Australia players to be ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Earlier, Mitchell Marsh was ruled out of the tournament.

IND vs ENG 1st ODI: The ODI series between India and England, the two powerhouse teams, will commence on February 6 with the first ODI at Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur. As the two big guns prepare to take on each other, all eyes will be on the thrilling individual battle that can shape the series. 
This high-stakes encounter promises some intense face-offs between world-class players. With the likes of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma at the top order of India and Jos Buttler and Joe Root for England, the series is going to be tough for bowlers and the stakes are high for the contest. Let's take a closer look at the key player battles to watch out for in IND vs ENG 1st ODI:
<h2>Key Player Battles to Watch Out For in IND vs ENG 1st ODI</h2>
<h3>1- Rohit Sharma vs Jofra Archer</h3>
Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has been struggling with form in recent times, particularly against pace. His vulnerability around the off-stump was exposed during the Test series against Australia, where he repeatedly fell to deliveries in that channel. The trend continued in his only Ranji Trophy appearance, where he failed in both innings against similar deliveries. Additionally, short-pitched bowling is emerging as another concern, making him a prime target for England’s pace spearhead, Jofra Archer.
Archer has already enjoyed success against Rohit in the T20 format, dismissing him three times in just 29 deliveries while conceding only 23 runs. This translates to an impressive strike rate of under 10 balls per wicket against the Indian captain. However, Rohit is known for his ability to adapt quickly to different conditions, and he has proven his resilience time and again. If he can counter Archer’s pace and movement, this battle could be a defining one in the first ODI.
<h3>2- Virat Kohli vs Brydon Carse/Gus Atkinson</h3>
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67a2cfa1cda02.jpg" alt="">
With only one of Brydon Carse or Gus Atkinson likely to feature in England’s playing XI, whoever gets the nod will have a crucial role to play against Virat Kohli. Both pacers possess the skill set needed to challenge the modern master of white-ball cricket, especially around his well-documented weakness outside the off-stump. During the Test series against Australia, Kohli repeatedly fell to deliveries in the fifth-stump channel, edging behind—a vulnerability that Atkinson and Carse have the accuracy to exploit.
Unlike express pacers like Jofra Archer and Mark Wood, who rely on raw speed, Atkinson and Carse focus more on control and precision. This makes them an even bigger threat to Kohli early in his innings, as they can keep him guessing with disciplined lines. While there aren’t many head-to-head statistics available for this contest, the impact of this battle could be significant in shaping the match’s outcome.
<h3>3- Jos Buttler vs Mohammed Shami</h3>
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67a2cfa7148b9.jpg" alt="">
Jos Buttler, one of England’s most recognized cricketers in India, has been in fine form recently. A well-rounded and technically sound batter, he has very few weaknesses that bowlers have successfully exploited. However, if there is one bowler who could trouble him, it is India’s seasoned pacer, Mohammed Shami.
Shami holds a statistical edge over Buttler in ODIs, having dismissed him five times in just 67 deliveries. While Buttler has managed to score 57 runs off those balls, Shami’s ability to generate movement and maintain a probing line makes him a serious threat. With his knack for producing sharp seam movement and late swing, Shami will look to unsettle Buttler early and continue his dominance in this intriguing contest.
4- Joe Root vs Axar Patel/Ravindra Jadeja
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67a2cfa35fdae.jpg" alt="">
England’s right-handed batting maestro, Joe Root, has historically struggled against Jasprit Bumrah, particularly in Indian conditions. However, with Bumrah unavailable for this series, India may turn to spin as their primary weapon against him.
Despite being an exceptional player of spin, Root has shown vulnerability against left-arm off-spinners in the past. With no Bumrah to trouble him with pace and movement, India could look to exploit this weakness by deploying their spinners strategically. In the absence of their pace spearhead, setting a spin trap for Root might be India’s best bet to keep him in check.

The IND vs ENG 1st ODI will feature key battles, including Rohit vs Archer, Kohli vs Atkinson/Carse, Buttler vs Shami, and Root vs India’s spin trap. These matchups could shape the game’s outcome.

Crucial player battles—Rohit vs. Archer, Kohli vs. Atkinson/Carse, Buttler vs. Shami, and Root vs. spin—will define IND vs ENG 1st ODI.

IND vs ENG: After the T20 series concluded, as Mohammed Shami returned to the shortest format for India after a huge span of absence from the format, the World Cup 2023 hero is back playing a crucial hand in the ODI series against England, which will begin on the 6th of February. 
 
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammed_Shami">Mohammed Shami </a>has had a decent T20 return with 3 wickets across 2 games played and is considered one of the greatest ODI bowlers for India of all time. Especially in the absence of legendary pacer Bumrah, Shami is the most experienced pacer to lead the Indian pace attack. 
 
Ever since the 2023 Cricket World Cup, Shami will play his first one-day international match, supposedly at the Vidarbha Stadium tomorrow. Ahead of the vital clash, Mohammed Shami will enter the field with 195 wickets to his name in the longest limited-overs format. 
 
<h2 dir="ltr">A Glimpse into Mohammed Shami’s Career </h2>

A peek into Mohammed Shami's stunning career despite injuries (Image Credit: X)
Shami, the Indian fast bowler, began his journey from the T20 Trophy starring for Bengal back in 2010, where he had one of the best debuts ever. Shami played for several franchises in the IPL the Delhi Daredevils, Punjab Kings, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolkata_Knight_Riders">Kolkata Knight Riders</a>, and Gujarat Titans, where he picked 127 career wickets in the franchise-level cricket tournament. 
 
Shami has played over three World Cups for India ever since his debut in 2013, as he has been India’s highest wicket-taker in the history of the CWC, playing over three editions in 2015, 2019 and 2023. With 450+ career wickets in the Men in Blue’s jersey, Shami, despite participation in several WTC and CWC games, could never be seen on the podium, though he won several individual records, the last being named the Player of the Tournament in the 2023 World Cup. 
 
<h2 dir="ltr">List of Bowlers fastest to reach 200 ODI wickets</h2>
 
Shami, who has appeared in 101 games and is only 5-wickets away from the remarkable 200 wicket mark, is like Australian modern-day legendary fast bowler <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitchell_Starc">Mitchell Starc</a>, who also has 200+ wickets and reached the milestone in just 102 matches and the 101 bowling innings.

IND vs ENG: Indian veteran pacer Mohammed Shami nearing big record in ODIs ahead of the First ODI vs England

Mohammed Shami returns to the ODI format and will be eyeing a world record on his return in the first ODI against England.
