England Cricket: James Coles earns first England T20 call-up as Sonny Baker, Jordan Cox recalled to squad for India series

All-rounder James Coles has been called up by England for the first time after being named in the 17-man squad for the T20I series against India.

The squad also includes recalls for Jordan Cox, Sonny Baker and Saqib Mahmood, who were not included in the 2026 T20 World Cup squad in February, while Brydon Carse and Jamie Overton are unavailable due to injury.

England national selector, Marcus North, said: "James Coles is an exciting addition and has earned his place following his performances with the England Lions and in T20 competitions here and abroad during the past 12 months.

"We have selected a larger squad to accommodate for the fact that this series will begin shortly after the Test series against New Zealand is due to conclude which allows us to be flexible."
