London, June 22: Uncapped left-arm spin bowling all rounder James Coles has earned his maiden call up to England’s T20I team for the upcoming five-match series against India, starting on July 1 at Chester-le-Street in Durham.
Harry Brook will lead the squad, which also features returns for Jordan Cox, Sonny Baker and Saqib Mahmood, all of whom missed the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup earlier this year. Pacer Brydon Carse and seam-bowling all-rounder Jamie Overton are unavailable due to injuries.
Coles, who became the most expensive buy of the 2026 Men’s Hundred competition, had stints with Sunrisers Eastern Cape in the SA20 and for England Lions. In 61 T20 innings, Coles, 22, has amassed 1,373 runs at an average of 28.60. (IANS)
