After playing five consecutive Tests against Australia, now Team India has to play eight consecutive matches against England at home. First, a five-match T-20 series will be played between England and India. After this there will be a three-match ODI series. However, Team India has not been announced yet for the series against England. Meanwhile, a big news is coming that star wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul will be given a chance in the ODI series. Whereas earlier there was talk of giving him rest in the ODI series. By taking a sudden U-turn, BCCI has saved Rahul from the sword hanging over him regarding the Champions Trophy.

Rahul will play ODI series against England

No information has been revealed regarding whether KL Rahul will play in the T20 series against England or not. However, it is considered certain that Rahul will play in the ODI series. In the reports quoting BCCI sources, it was earlier said that Rahul will be given rest for the ODI series, but now it is being said that he will be given a chance. The source said that 'BCCI has reconsidered its earlier decision and has now asked him to play in the ODI series so that he can prepare by playing some matches before the Champions Trophy in February.'

It becomes difficult to play in the Champions Trophy!

Due to the earlier decision taken by BCCI, it would have been difficult for KL Rahul to play in the Champions Trophy. Let us tell you that immediately after the ODI series against England, Team India will go to Dubai to play the Champions Trophy. Champions Trophy will also be played in ODI format. It was believed that if Rahul was not given a chance in the ODI series, some other player would have played in his place. Due to his excellent performance, he could have been given a chance in the Champions Trophy also. In such a situation, it would have been difficult for Rahul to play in the Champions Trophy. However, now the star player will not have to face such problems.

Team India was not announced even for Champions Trophy

ICC Champions Trophy will be played in Pakistan and Dubai from 19th February. India's first match is against Bangladesh on 20 February.
