NEW DELHI, June 21, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Shubman Gill will captain India for next month's three-match one-day international series against England, with veterans Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma included.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said Shreyas Iyer will serve as vice-captain for the series, which begins at Edgbaston on July 14, before matches at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff on July 16 and Lord's on July 19.

Wicketkeepers KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan were also selected in the 15-member squad, alongside all-rounders Washington Sundar, Axar Patel and Nitish Kumar Reddy.

The squad includes fast bowlers Jasprit Bumrah, Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana, Arshdeep Singh and Gurnoor Brar.

The BCCI said Kohli's inclusion is subject to fitness.

Kohli was ruled out of the ODI series this month against Afghanistan due to injury. India swept the series 3-0.

The board said spinner Varun Chakravarthy has been ruled out of India's T20 series against Ireland, as he continues rehabilitation for a left foot injury sustained during the Indian Premier League.

Shreyas Iyer will captain the updated squad for the Ireland series.
