IND vs ENG 1st ODI: In the three-match ODI series (India tour of England, 2026), the Indian cricket team will play the first ODI against England at Edgbaston, Birmingham, on Tuesday, July 14. The match is scheduled to start at 3:30 PM IST. Things have not gone well for the Indian team since arriving for the UK tour; they were defeated 2-0 by Ireland and subsequently 4-0 by England.
However, Team India will be hoping that a format change brings a change in their fortunes. Star players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Jasprit Bumrah are set to return to the squad. On the other hand, the England team has displayed excellent form in white-ball cricket compared to the red-ball format. They will aim to continue this momentum under the captaincy of Harry Brook.
