England vs India: Zak Crawley left out for of squad for ODI series as James Coles set for 50-over debut

Former England opener Zak Crawley has been left out of England's 16-man squad for the three-match ODI series against India.

The Kent batter was included in the squad for England's last ODI series against Sri Lanka in January, but loses his place after an uninspiring domestic campaign thus far, averaging 10.17 in his last six T20 Blast matches.

All-rounder Jamie Overton, also included in January's squad, misses out having suffered a right thigh injury in May while on IPL duty with the Chennai Super Kings, creating an opportunity for the inclusion of highly rated all-rounder James Coles.

The 22-year-old Sussex player, who fetched the top price of £390,000 in The Hundred auction earlier this year as he was bought by London Spirit, was also selected in the T20 squad for the ongoing five-match series against the same opponent.

Elsewhere, England veteran Liam Livingstone's absence extends after the batter - who has exactly 100 caps for his country across all three formats - called interactions with Rob Key during the 2025 Champions Trophy campaign "the worst experiences I've had in cricket" during an interview with Cricinfo.

Liam Dawson - having retired from red-ball cricket just last month - is also included, as he looks to continue his international white-ball career with the 2027 50-over World Cup on the horizon.

Jofra Archer and Josh Tongue both feature in the squad having been rested for the first T20 at Chester-le-Street on Wednesday after they both played in England's 160-run third Test defeat against New Zealand just two days earlier.

Captain Harry Brook will likely lead the side out for the first ODI at Edgbaston as rumours continue to swirl around whether he will be appointed Test captain in the aftermath of Ben Stokes' international retirement.
