Suryakumar Yadav, one of only three Indians with a T20I ton against England, will lead the hosts. Here are the Indian players who own a hundred against this opposition (T20Is). In July 2018, KL Rahul became the first Indian to slam a century against England in T20I cricket.

Fast bowler Mohammed Shami has finally made a comeback to the India squad with his selection for the five T20Is against England starting on January 22 in Kolkata. He returns after last playing for India in the ODI World Cup final in November 2023, after which he had ankle surgery and also suffered from knee-related niggles.

Kotak has been head coach of several India A tours, and served as assistant coach to Laxman during the Ireland T20Is, and has been a batting coach at the NCA since 2019

Kotak flew to Australia with the India A side in November 2024 and is currently the head coach of the India A team.

BCCI has asked Sitanshu Kotak to join India squad as their batting coach. Sitanshu will join the India squad from the T20I series against England

The India batters have experienced a tough time with the bat in the last few series which were played both at home and away as well. This has led to the coaching staff getting a lot of backlash after the performances in red-ball cricket in Australia and a whitewash against New Zealand in particular.
