India will take on England in a T20I and an ODI series ahead of the 50-over ICC tournament that gets underway on February 19.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As reported by PTI, Rahul has asked for a break from the upcoming\u00a0five-match T20I\u00a0and a three-match ODI series which will begin on January 22 with the T20Is first. While he has sought a break, Rahul will be available for selection for the Champions Trophy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He has sought a break for the England series but he will be available for selection for the Champions Trophy,&#8221; a BCCI source told PTI on Thursday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Rahul has not played in any T20I since the 2022 World Cup but is very much in the scheme of things in ODIs. He was India&#8217;s first-choice wicketkeeper in the ODI World Cup 2023; however, with the return of Rishabh Pant, there will be competition breathing under his neck in the 50-over format from now on.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Notably, Rahul had earlier sought a break from Karnataka&#8217;s matches in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. The knockouts of the domestic tournament are underway and Rahul&#8217;s team is set to face Baroda in the fourth quarterfinal on January 11.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Coming back to the Indian team, the selectors are reportedly set to meet on Saturday, January 11 to pick a provisional squad for the Champions Trophy and for the three ODIs against England. The final date to announce the initial Champions Trophy squad is January 12.<\/p>\n<p>Rahul is one of three wicketkeepers being considered for the 50-over format. While he is the frontrunner, Pant and Sanju Samson are the other options in the fray for a spot in the squad.<\/p>\n<p>Rahul was one of the few Indian batters to hit some notable contributions in the Border-Gavaskar series. He had scored 276 runs in 10 innings at an average of 30.66 and was the third-highest run-scorer from the Indian team during the five-match series.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async>\nfunction loadFacebookScript(){\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '529056027274737');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n}\nwindow.addEventListener('load', (event) => {\n\tsetTimeout(function(){\n        loadFacebookScript();\n\t}, 5000);\n});\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/sports\/cricket\/kl-rahul-seeks-break-for-england-series-likely-to-be-rested-for-white-ball-contests-report-2025-01-10-970515\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image Source : GETTY KL Rahul.
