IND vs ENG: England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) on Friday announced squads for the upcoming three-match T20I series and ODI series against India.
The three-match T20 series between England and India will start on July 7 and the three international matches will start on July 12. The two teams are currently playing in the rescheduled fifth Test starting in Birmingham on Friday (July 1).
This is England’s first white ball series since Eoin Morgan announced his retirement from international cricket. The England and Wales Cricket Board has appointed Jos Butler as England’s ODI and T20 captain on Thursday (June 30), so Jos Butler will lead England against India.
Ben Stokes and Jonny Bairstow rested for the T20I series:
England has decided to rest Test captain Ben Stokes and in-form batsman Johnny Bairstow in the T20 series. They are both playing their fourth consecutive Test match and Bairstow has played in the Indian Premier League (IPL) before that.
Significantly, spinner Adil Rashid is absent from both the T20 and ODI teams. The England Cricket Board allowed him to miss the series to make The Hodge Pilgrimage to Mecca. In his absence, Matt Parkinson got a chance in the limited-overs format.
