Rohit returns as captain for ODIs and T20Is against England, Arshdeep earns maiden India call-up

Rohit Sharma will lead India in the limited-overs series as India announced squads for the three-match T20I and ODI series against England, set to be played after the rescheduled fifth Test. Arshdeep Singh has earned his maiden India call-up. 

Keeping in mind the short time gap between the last day of the fifth Test and the start of the T20I series, the All-India Senior Selection Committee has picked two different squads for the three 20-over matches.
