starts on Thursday (6 February) with the first ODI at the VCA Stadium in Nagpur. The Indian cricket team is coming into the contest after a 4-1 win over England in the T20I series and will be gunning for another impressive performance against England.
The ODI series also serves as the final preparation opportunity for the Indian cricket team
ahead of the Champions Trophy 2025 and the Men in Blue will be looking to sort out their final playing XI.
Talking about specifics. India captain Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will be in focus after their recent struggle to score runs in international cricket. With a return to ODIs, both Kohli and Rohit will aim to discover their form in the series against England.
The Vidharbha Cricket Association (VCA) Stadium has an average first-innings score of 288 but this is the first ODI at the venue in six years. They will be using a new pitch reportedly which means it will offer pace and bounce and 280-300 in first innings will be a good score.
