Team India will tour England for the white-ball series, which includes three ODI matches and five T20Is in July. However, the three-match ODI series is crucial for Team India as it is part of their preparations for the 2027 World Cup, which will take place in South Africa, Namibia, and Zimbabwe. With senior players including Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli expected to feature in the ODI leg of the white-ball series, India aims to fine-tune their strategies, test combinations, and build momentum ahead of the 2027 World Cup.

The Men in Blue won the ODI series only twice in England in 1990 and 2022, making the upcoming July series a challenging opportunity to improve their overseas white-ball record. This will be India’s first tour of England since the Test series on English soil, where the Shubman Gill-led side pulled off a 2-2 series draw this year.
