Adil also opined that the England cricket team needed to play more against the teams like India to improve going forward in the shorter formats. He said, “They are one of the best T20 sides in the world – they have the best domestic competition in the world in the IPL, and the best players. The more we play against these big teams, like India, the better we will get as well.”
