England set its XI for the match on Tuesday, resting Jofra Archer and Josh Tongue after the duo played in a Test against New Zealand that ended on Monday, Captain Harry Brook tabbed Saqib Mahmood and Luke Wood for the match while Jamie Overton isn’t on the squad due to injury.
India, meanwhile, went to Ireland expecting to breeze through a pair of prep matches for the England series, only to lose both. The Men in Blue entered the series unbeaten in 16 international series over nearly three years. India gets Varun Chakravarthy back for the opening match in England, leaving captain Shreyas Iyer with a tough decision between Chakravarthy or stalwarts Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana and Prince Yadav.
The teams will open the series with five T20I matchups, with action continuing in Manchester, Nottingham, Bristol and Southampton before the format switches to the one-day international version for contests in Birmingham and Cardiff before wrapping up at historic Lord’s in London.
