June 21 : Virat Kohli will return to the Indian team for the one-day international series in England starting from July, subject to a fitness clearance, the country's cricket board (BCCI) said on Sunday.

The veteran batter was ruled out of this month's ODI series against Afghanistan because of an injury picked up while playing for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in a victory over Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League (IPL) final in May, where Bengaluru secured a second consecutive IPL title.

India will play three ODIs in England on July 14, 16 and 19 at Edgbaston, Sophia Gardens and Lord's respectively.

Yashasvi Jaiswal, who replaced Kohli against Afghanistan, was not included in the squad for the England tour despite scoring a century in the third ODI against the Afghans on Saturday.
