India will face England in the first ODI of the three-match series, which starts in Nagpur on Thursday, in an attempt to start their Champions Trophy preparations in earnest. Mohammad Shami and Arshdeep Singh will lead India’s speed assault in this series while pace sensation Jasprit Bumrah’s fitness status is still up in the air.
Virat Kohli and captain Rohit Sharma will also be examined for their poor showings in the Border Gavaskar Trophy and the New Zealand series last year. As a result, they were able to play Ranji for their states, but they were also unable to make a significant impression on the home scene.
Rohit scored two fifties, and Kohli tried to deceive during their last ODIs, which India lost 2-0 in the Sri Lanka series last year. Fans would expect these two mainstays to return to their 2023 ODI World Cup form, where Rohit hit 597 and Kohli scored 765, as the Champions Trophy approaches.
