JUST IN - Arshdeep handed debut cap by skipper Rohit
Left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh has been handed the India T20I debut cap. He will be playing his maiden international game tonight against England.
Team India's roster ahead of T20 World Cup
India have about 15 T20 games to play before the T20 World Cup in Australia in October -- three against England in the current series, five against the West Indies (July 29-August 7), about 5 in Asia Cup (August-September) and three against Australia (September). The England series will mark the beginning of the process to identify its best XI for the marquee event.
Buttler and Livingstone danger
For England, the series marks the beginning of the Jos Buttler era following the retirement of Eoin Morgan. Ben Stokes and star of the fifth Test against India, Jonny Bairstow, have been rested from the series. However, there is enough firepower in the England batting to rattle the opposition. Both Buttler and Liam Livingstone showed devastating form in the IPL and would be looking to build on that.
The bowling combination
In the bowling department, pacer Umran Malik will be brimming with confidence after defending 17 runs in the last over of a high-scoring second T20 against Ireland. However, he remains a work in progress and needs to improve on his accuracy. The pacers including the seasoned Bhuvneshwar Kumar and wily Harshal Patel were stunned by the Irish attack and against a tougher opposition, they will have to be at their best. Yuzvendra Chahal will be expected to replace Ravi Bishnoi in the playing eleven.
Time for Surya to deliver
Suryakumar Yadav, who made a comeback from injury against Ireland, could not get going in the games in Malahide and will be backing himself to get back to his innovative best. He and Hooda were amongst the runs in the warm-up against Derbyshire last week.
