India and England are set to revive their rivalry with a mouth-watering T20I series starting on January 22. The last two T20 world champions will engage in the five T20Is followed by three ODIs as their final preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
Rohit Sharma-led Indian side thrashed England in the semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2024 in their last T20I meeting and eventually became the world champions. England went on to lift the T20 World Cup in 2022 after beating India in the semi-final by 10 wickets.
India will have their veteran pacer Mohammed Shami returning to international cricket for the first time since the ODI World Cup 2023 and to the T20I cricket since July 2022. Suryakumar Yadav-led Men in Blue thrashed South Africa 3-1 in their last T20I assignment in November last year while Jos Buttler‘s England clinched a 3-1 T20I series win against West Indies.
India slightly leads the head-to-head record against England with 13 wins in 24 T20I meetings, including three wins in the last five encounters.
