World-class England outfit will be locking horns with the balanced Indian squad on the back of the dominant victories against under-performing Australia in both ODI series and lone T20I. Aussies were not competent enough against the World No.1 ODI team as they lost the five-match series 0-5. The Aaron Finch-led T20I side also lost the game by 28 runs.

The English squad will be missing the services of their veterans like Ben Stokes and Chris Woakes in the upcoming T20I series. However, Stokes will be a part of the three-match ODI series. With Alex Hales, Jason Roy, Jos Buttler in red-hot form, England aim to dominate the solid Indian side. But, Indian team boasts of wrist spinners like Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav, who complement each other. The spin duo has the ability to spin the ball on any turf and pose a huge threat to England side.

Here’s the updated squad for first T20I against India: Eoin Morgan(c), Moeen Ali, Jonny Bairstow, Jake Ball, Jos Buttler, Sam Curran, Dawid Malan (Cover for Tom Curran), Alex Hales, Chris Jordan, Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Jason Roy, David Willey.
