India vs England: Rohit Sharma back to lead in T20s and ODIs

LONDON: Skipper Rohit Sharma, who has been ruled out of the rescheduled Test match against England after testing positive for COVID-19, will be available to lead the side in the white-ball series as he was named in squads for T20Is and ODIs by the BCCI. The three-match T20 series will begin on July 7 in Southampton. Rohit was already supposed to play from the second T20I but since he missed out on the Test match, he is available from the first game. Five players, including Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Jasprit Bumrah and Shreyas Iyer will join the team from the second game in Edgbaston on July 9.

One notable omission in the T20 squad is Mohammed Shami, who hasn't been picked in shortest format since last T20 World Cup as he isn't scheme of things for Australia World Cup.
