Tongue, Atkinson and Coles profit from Jamie Overton's absence, who misses out with a thigh injury.
Elsewhere, Crawley continues to slip out of the England periphery as he loses his place in the ODI squad following his struggles in the most recent Ashes tour to Australia.
White-ball captain Brook continues to lead the side amid rumours he could become the second England player to captain across all three formats simultaneously following Ben Stokes' surprise retirement.
Jofra Archer, Jacob Bethell, Ben Duckett and Joe Root, who all featured heavily in England's 2-1 Test series defeat to New Zealand last month, are all included in the squad.
England start their three-match ODI series on July 14 at Edgbaston, before trips to Cardiff and Lord's. Their first T20I in the five-match series against India in Durham on Wednesday was rained off midway through.

Who is potential debutant James Coles?
James Coles may not have yet earned an England cap, but he is a household name amongst county cricket enthusiasts.
The 22-year-old passed 1,000 runs in the County Championship last season, averaging over 38 with the bat in his first-class career so far.
Coles can also bowl left arm spin and has 74 first-class wickets, having dismissed Rory Burns, Ben Foakes and Jamie Smith on debut.
He has been included in England's T20 squad but is yet to feature. Coles was the most expensive signing in this year's Hundred auction, fetching ÂŁ390,000 from London Spirit.
