Virat Kohli was, on Friday, named as the captain of the Indian team for the three-match ODI and T20 series against England.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who recently resigned as limited overs captain, and Yuvraj Singh were both inducted into the ODI and T20 teams.
“Yuvraj Singh has performed well at the domestic level and we must appreciate that,” said chief selector M.S.K. Prasad.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni had stumped every cricket fan on Wednesday, when he informed the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) that he was stepping down as the skipper of India's One-Day International (ODI) and T20 International sides. The 35-year-old had already retired from Test cricket in December 2014.
Team for 3 ODIs: Virat (C), Dhoni (wk), Rahul, Shikhar, Manish, Kedar, Yuvraj, Ajinkya, Pandya, Ashwin, Jadeja, Mishra, Bumrah, Bhuvi, Umesh.
Team for 3 T20s: Virat (Capt), Dhoni (wk), Mandeep, Rahul, Yuvraj, Raina, Rishabh, Pandya, Ashwin, Jadeja, Chahal, Manish, Bumrah, Bhuvi, Nehra.
