Team News: 1st T20I

England:

After leveling the Test series in Edgbaston, the English team will remain in high confidence in the T20Is although, it's a different format. New skipper Jos Buttler will be looking to get the team in shape and fill up the void that has been created in absence of former captain Morgan. However, it will be a very exciting contest between the two teams as they are known as one of the best teams in the shortest format of the game.

India:

Meanwhile, for team India, it's good news that skipper Rohit Sharma is back again with the team as he missed the final Test due to Covid. Since he returned a negative result on last Monday, he will be available for the upcoming three T20Is.

In the first T20I, some test players will be taking a rest like Kohli, Pant, and Bumrah. So, it will be a tough battle for the Rohit army against a strong side like England. Moreover, it will be a test for the youngsters to perform well just like they recently did against Ireland. So, we can expect a challenging match between these two teams.
