India spinner Varun Chakravarthy has been added to the ODI squad for the three-match series against England on the back of his outstanding performance in the five T20Is.

Varun Chakravarthy has been included in India’s squad for the three-match ODI series against England that starts from 6 February. However, Jasprit Bumrah’s name from the updated India squad for the England series is missing.

Varun Chakaravarthy was the pick of the Indian bowlers in the recent five-match T20I series that the hosts won over England by a 4-1 margin.

Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer and Axar Patel smashed half-centuries as India defeated England by four wickets in the opening one-day international on Thursday and took a 1-0 lead in the three-match series that is a warmup for the Champions Trophy.

The Indian team and England received a grand welcome from the fans as they reached Bhubaneswar Airport on Friday, February 7 ahead of the second ODI in Cuttack. Fans arrived to get a glimpse of the stars as both teams made their way to the team hotels.
