Umpires announced for India-England ODIs

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the list of umpires called up to do duty in the forthcoming one-day series between England and India. Although not as prestigious as standing in the longer version of the game, there is great demand to umpire one-dayers as well. Most umpires trying to make a mark see the one-dayers as a stepping stone to bigger things.

Unlike Test matches, there is no qualification stipulated by the International Cricket Council (ICC) to stand in one-dayers. The BCCI has a rotation policy in place by which umpires are selected from a national pool on a series by series basis. The following is the complete list of umpires for the ODI series:
