India and England are set to lock horns in a thrilling T20I series starting January 22 in Kolkata. Both teams will look to entertain fans with five T20Is before the three-match ODI series starting February 6. With focus on the upcoming Champions League 2025, the hosts have picked most of the squad from their last T20I series against South Africa. Axar Patel has been given the vice-captaincy for the first time while Mohammed Shami is making a comeback to international cricket after a gap of 14 months.
England tour of India, 2025
Five T20 and three ODI matches will be played between India and England, which is a golden opportunity for both the teams to assess themselves before the Champions Trophy to be held next month. Shami was India's most successful bowler in the ODI World Cup 2023, despite being out of four matches, taking 24 wickets. He took seven wickets for 57 runs in the semi-final against New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium. He has taken a total of 24 wickets in T20 cricket and would like to improve his performance in it.
All-rounder Akshar Patel has been made the vice-captain of the Indian team, who played an important role in winning the T20 World Cup in the West Indies last year. Akshar scored 47 runs in 31 balls in the final against South Africa and also took nine wickets in eight matches. Wicketkeeper Sanju Samson, who failed to make it to India's Champions Trophy team, will be under pressure to perform well.
