India teams for England ODIs, T20Is to be announced on Friday

The BCCI’s senior selection committee will meet on Friday to announce the Indian cricket team for the three-match One-Day Internationals (ODI) and the subsequent three T20 Internationals. They will also have to select a new captain after MS Dhoni decided to step down from ODI and T20I captaincy.

The selectors will also announce the India 'A' side against whom the English team will play two warm-up One Day matches at the Cricket Club of India Stadium here.

After losing the five-match Test series 0-4, England will return from their Christmas and New Year break for the limited overs leg of the tour, which starts with the two practice games on January 10 and 12.

This will be the first instance when the selection panel will meet sans the Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) President or Secretary.

The board's President Anurag Thakur and Secretary Ajay Shirke were on Monday asked to demit office by the Supreme Court for not complying with the Justice R.M. Lodha Committee's recommendations to bring administrative reforms in the running of the cricket board.
