England announced a 17-member squad for the five-match T20I series against India, with uncapped all-rounder James Coles earning his maiden senior call-up.

Harry Brook will lead the side, while Jordan Cox, Sonny Baker and Saqib Mahmood return after missing the 2026 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup squad. Brydon Carse and Jamie Overton were unavailable due to injury.

England Men’s National Selector Marcus North said Coles had earned his place through his performances with England Lions and in T20 competitions in England and overseas over the past 12 months.
