IND vs ENG ODI Series: Team India is currently busy in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy on the Australia tour. However, with the defeat in the Melbourne Test, Team India has fallen behind in the series. After this defeat, there has been a stir in Indian cricket, especially regarding the disappointing performance of captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Questions are constantly being raised on the performance of both of them, and some fans are demanding to drop them from the team.

Big news: Rohit, Virat and Bumrah will take a break

According to media reports, after the Australia tour, captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah will not participate in the upcoming ODI series against England. These three players will be given rest under workload management.

This decision has come to the fore after the defeat of the Melbourne Test, which has been taken keeping in mind the next schedule of Team India. All three players will return directly to the Champions Trophy starting on February 19 after the Test match starting in Sydney on January 3.

England tour: Team India's preparations

The England team will tour India in January, where 5 T20 and 3 ODI matches will be played. The T20 series will start from January 22, while the ODI series will start from February 6. Rohit and Virat have already retired from T20, but their absence in the ODI series has also become a reason for discussions.

Bumrah will also get rest

Jasprit Bumrah has been playing cricket continuously for the last few months. Since he is active in all three formats, he will be kept out of the ODI series to keep him fully fresh for the Champions Trophy.

Is Rohit and Virat's break right?

The recent performance of Rohit and Virat is a matter of concern for their fans and experts. Both batsmen failed to leave their mark in the Melbourne Test. In such a situation, it is natural to question their performance. There may be differences among cricket pundits on whether the decision to take rest before the Champions Trophy is right or not.

Strategy ahead

This series will be the last chance for Team India to identify and improve its weaknesses before the Champions Trophy. In the absence of big players like Rohit, Virat and Bumrah, the young players of the team will have a golden opportunity to prove themselves.

This decision has become a topic of discussion in Indian cricket. Now it has to be seen how much the young players are able to take advantage of this opportunity and how strongly Team India is able to prepare for the Champions Trophy.
