India
For the first time, India has failed to qualify for the World Cup Test Championship but we shouldn’t worry as the youngsters have taken charge in the shortest format of Cricket.
Mohammed Shami is back in the squad and will play his first match after winning the T20I World Cup and his record against Butler is outstanding. Varun Chakaravarthy was also impressive in his last T20I series.
England
England on the other hand have announced their playing 11 a day before the match. The seamer Jofra Archer is back in the squad and he has a good track record against India. Adil Rashid can be effective as well as he has a good record against the left-handers.
The English team is backed with hard hitters like Ben Duckett, Phil Salt (wk) and Jos Buttler.
It will be interesting to see who will win the the 1st T20I.
