A 3 -match ODI series will be played between India and England teams from 6 February. Given this series ICC Champions Trophy 2025, both teams are going to be very important. The Indian team has played very few ODIs in the recent past. In such a situation, the management has only 3 matches to make the right team combination. At the same time, England's recent performance in ODIs has been very poor. His eyes will also be on the return of victory. Meanwhile, a bad news has come out before the start of the series. A young player has been injured.
The tour of India for England has been very bad so far. He had to face 1-4 defeat in the 5-match T20 series. At the same time, the tension of the team has increased even before the ODI series. According to a report by Telegraph Sport, England wicketkeeper Jamie Smith has been ruled out of the first two ODIs against India due to injury to Pindi. Jamie Smith recently made his T20 I debut during the T20 series against India.
Jamie Smith had a chance to play 2 matches in the T20 series. During this time, he was able to score only 28 runs and then could not play in the last 2 matches. Jamie Smith's exit is a big setback for England, because it is going to be very difficult for his team to choose wicketkeeper. In fact, England have two wicketkeeper-batsmen in the current team as Phil Sold and Butler. The England captain has not worn gloves since the return from the injury of the calf and recently also played as a batsman in the T20 series. On the other hand, Salt has played only three ODIs as a wicketkeeper and the performance came during the recent West Indies tour of England.
According to media reports, leg -spinner Rehan Ahmed has been asked to stay in India for the ODI series. Let me tell you, he was not initially not part of the England team for the ODI series against India and the Champions Trophy 2025 and was to return home after the T20I series. It is believed that this decision is being taken after the bar received in the T20 series. In fact, in the T20 series, England included only one frontline spinner in its team. Due to which his bowling attack looked weak.
