A three-match ODI series between India and England is scheduled to take place, with the first match being held on February 6, Thursday, at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur. The match will start at 1:30 pm Indian time, with the toss taking place at 1 pm. Prior to the ODI series, a five-match T20 series was played between the two teams, which India won 4-1. Fans are now hoping for a similar outcome in the ODI series.
England has not won an ODI series against India in the last 40 years, with their last victory coming in 1984-85. This record has been standing for four decades, and it will be up to Team India to maintain it. The return of experienced players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to the team is expected to bolster India’s chances in the series. This ODI series will be India’s last before the 2025 Champions Trophy, making it an important preparation ground for the tournament.
The first match of the series will be held in Nagpur, followed by the second ODI in Cuttack on February 9, and the third and final ODI in Ahmedabad on February 12. The teams for the ODI series have been announced, with Rohit Sharma leading the Indian team and Jose Butler captaining the English team.
