India, led by Suryakumar Yadav, will face off against Jos Buttler's England in the opening match of a five-match T20I series, beginning Wednesday at Eden Gardens. The series, which also includes three ODIs, offers both teams an opportunity to experiment with lineups and gauge their form ahead of next month's Champions Trophy.
After a demanding cricket calendar, including intense tours of South Africa and Australia, India return home. Adding to the excitement, star pacer Mohammed Shami is set to make his long-awaited international return. Shami, who last played for India in the 2023 ODI World Cup final, brings invaluable experience to strengthen India's bowling attack against a strong England side.
For England, this series marks their first assignment of 2025, following a short break after their December tour of New Zealand. With refreshed legs and a determined mindset, the English squad is ready to bring their best to the Indian subcontinent.
