Joe Root returned to England's one-day international squad for the first time since their ill-fated World Cup title defence in November 2023, as the country's cricket board named players on Sunday for a tour of India and the Champions Trophy.

Joe Root has been recalled to England's ODI squad for February's ICC Champions Trophy, as well as the 50-over leg of the India series that precedes it, in the first big call of Brendon McCullum's tenure as head coach across red- and white-ball formats.

Joe Root has returned to England’s one-day international side for the Champions Trophy in Brendon McCullum’s first squad as the side’s all-format coach.

England`s Test skipper Ben Stokes has been ruled out of the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025. The mega event will be hosted by Pakistan. Stokes will also be absent for the white-ball tour of India. Ben Stokes was not considered for both assignments as he pulled a left hamstring injury during England`s loss against New Zealand in the third Test match.

Nearly a couple of months ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, England have announced their squad for the mega tournament and the India tour.
