England has named a 14-player squad for the three-match One-Day International series against India in Pune.
Three additional players – Jake Ball, Chris Jordan, and Dawid Malan – will travel with the squad as cover. All these players have been in India for the Twenty20 International series in Ahmedabad.
England’s Jofra Archer Returns To England For Right Elbow Injury And Wasn’t Named In 14 Man Squad
Jofra Archer is returning to the UK for further management and investigation of his right elbow injury. His elbow issue has deteriorated over the course of the 5 matches Twenty20 International series and made it increasingly challenging for him to maintain performance levels. He has been deemed unfit for selection for the ODI series that features matches on 23, 26, and 28 March.
The ECB medical team will assess the player and, together with the pacer, develop a treatment plan and a return-to-play schedule in due course. As a consequence, Jofra Archer will miss the start of this year’s Indian Premier League. England’s 14 member ODI squad doesn’t feature Joe Root but legspinner Matt Parkinson earns a recall after a year.
He has not played an ODI since playing the two games in his debut series against South Africa in February 2020. Liam Livingstone and Reece Topley have also been added to the ODI squad. They were a part of England’s T20I squad but did not play any game.
Here’s England’s Squad
Eoin Morgan (Middlesex) (captain), Moeen Ali (Worcestershire), Jonathan Bairstow (Yorkshire), Sam Billings (Kent), Jos Buttler (Lancashire), Sam Curran (Surrey), Tom Curran (Surrey), Liam Livingstone (Lancashire), Matt Parkinson (Lancashire), Adil Rashid (Yorkshire), Jason Roy (Surrey), Ben Stokes (Durham), Reece Topley (Surrey), Mark Wood (Durham). Also traveling with the squad: Jake Ball (Nottinghamshire), Chris Jordan (Sussex), Dawid Malan (Yorkshire).
Prasidh Krishna, Krunal Pandya Named In India’s ODI Squad
Prasidh Krishna, the 25-year-old quick from Karnataka, had limited exposure of playing just nine first-class games since his debut in 2015 but has been a prominent name in limited-overs formats for a while, having played 48 List A games (81 wickets at an average of 23.07) and 40 T20s (33 wickets at 35.84 and an economy rate of 8.49). A part of the Kolkata Knight Riders set-up since 2018, he has played 24 games for the franchise in the IPL, returning 18 wickets with an economy rate of 9.33.
Prasidh Krishna and Krunal Pandya are among the surprising inclusions as BCCI has named India’s squad for their upcoming ODI series against England. Krunal Pandya, who has played 18 T20Is, earned his maiden ODI call-up by scoring two hundred and as many fifties in five games for Baroda. Krunal Pandya has played 18 T20I so far and has 121 runs and 14 wickets to his name. Mohammed Siraj and Suryakumar Yadav also found their names in the squad.
Here’s India’s squad
Virat Kohli (C), Rohit Sharma (VC), Shikhar Dhawan, Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant (wk), KL Rahul (WK), Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Krunal Pandya, Washington Sundar, T Natarajan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Shardul Thakur.
