India and England are set to clash in a thrilling three-match ODI series, kicking off on February 6 (Thursday), as both teams look to finalize their preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The series promises to be an exciting contest, especially with both teams eager to perform after notable results in recent international tournaments.
India vs England ODI Series 2025: Overview
The upcoming ODI series will serve as a vital platform for both teams, with the focus on refining their strategies ahead of the Champions Trophy. The series is a chance for India to regroup after a tough defeat in their recent ODI series against Sri Lanka, while England is looking to bounce back from a disappointing showing in the 2023 ODI World Cup.
India enters the series with significant changes in their squad. The return of senior players like captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and KL Rahul brings much-needed experience to the squad, following a period of rebuilding under head coach Gautam Gambhir. India has only played three ODIs in the past year, all against Sri Lanka, and will be aiming to gain momentum after their first-ever series loss to Sri Lanka in 28 years.
On the other hand, England, led by Jos Buttler, is looking to recover from their below-par performance in the 2023 ODI World Cup. Their recent 4-1 T20I series loss to India in the T20I leg of the tour has left them with a point to prove, and they will be determined to make a statement in this 50-over format.
