IND vs ENG: The three-match ODI series between India and England is going to start from February 6 in Nagpur. Both teams would like to prepare for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy through this series, which is to be held two weeks later.

Rohit Sharma's focus on the present

Indian captain Rohit Sharma dismissed speculation about his future in the pre-match press conference. He said, "When three ODIs and the Champions Trophy are to be held, it makes no sense for me to talk about my future plans." Rohit also added that the 3 matches against England and the Champions Trophy are very important for him, and his full focus is on these matches.

Trying to recover from poor form

Joe Root is returning to the England team, who will play his first ODI match after the 2023 World Cup. Captain Jos Buttler expressed happiness over Root's return and said, "He is a great player and very important for us in ODI cricket."
