NEW DELHI: England have announced a 17-member squad for the five-match T20I series against India starting July 1, with 22-year-old all-rounder James Coles getting his first international call-up. Harry Brook will captain the side, while Jordan Cox, Sonny Baker and Saqib Mahmood will return after missing out on the T20 World Cup earlier this year. Brydon Carse and Jamie Overton are unavailable due to injuries.Coles, a left-arm spin-bowling all-rounder, has impressed in domestic cricket, the SA20 and the England Lions. He is also the most expensive signing in the 2026 Men’s Hundred and has scored over 1,300 runs in T20 cricket while taking 53 wickets.National selector Marcus North said the youngster earned his opportunity through consistent performances last year.“James Coles is an exciting addition and has earned his place following his performances with the England Lions and in T20 competitions here and abroad over the past 12 months,” North said.“We have chosen a bigger squad to accommodate the fact that this series starts immediately after the Test series against New Zealand is over, which allows us to be flexible.”England have little time to rest before the India series, with Harry Brook and Jacob Bethell likely to play in the first T20I less than 48 hours after the third Test against New Zealand.The five-match series kicks off in Durham on July 1 before moving on to Manchester, Nottingham, Bristol and Southampton. Jos Buttler, Jofra Archer, Phil Salt, Will Jacks and Adil Rashid are among the key names included in the squad.England squad vs India T20Is.
