Jasprit Bumrah, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are likely to miss the upcoming home ODI series against India in February which is a tune-up tournament before the Champions Trophy 2025. The trio are currently a part of the Indian team Down Under, playing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2024-25. India are trailing the series 1-2 after four Tests with a match to go in Sydney.

Following the completion of BGT 2024-25, India will host England in five T20Is and three ODIs in January-February before the Men in Blue takes the flight to Dubai to play in the Champions Trophy.

Based on a Sportstak report, Bumrah will be given rest in the ODI series against England due to his workload management. As far as Rohit and Kohli are concerned, the duo will be on leave, thus putting a question mark on their availability for the mega event.

The India vs England T20I series starts on January 22 with the final game of the series to be played on February 2. The ODI series starts on February 6 and ends on February 12.
