New Delhi: Out-of-form captain Rohit Sharma will lead India in the one-day international home series against England and at next month's Champions Trophy, selectors said Saturday.
The 37-year-old Rohit and star batsman Virat Kohli, 36, have both faced questions about their futures after poor form since India won the T20 World Cup last year.
Also in the squad is fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah.
Rated as one of the best bowlers of his generation, Bumrah suffered a back niggle in the final game of the five-Test series in Australia, which India lost 3-1.
He is expected to be fit for India's Champions Trophy opener against Bangladesh in Dubai on February 20, chief selector Ajit Agarkar said.
