England will start a new white-ball chapter under Jos Buttler as they take on India in the first of the three T20 Internationals on Thursday (July 7) in Southampton.
England are coming fresh in the white-ball series with a stunning victory over India in the rescheduled fifth Test. The hosts rode on the excellent batting efforts from Joe Root (142*) and Jonny Bairstow (114*) to chase 378 in the fourth innings and levelled the five-match series 2-2.
England rest Test regulars for India T20Is
England have rested Ben Stokes and Jonny Bairstow for the T20I series with the pair due to return to the ODI fold along with Joe Root. Lancashire all-rounder Richard Gleeson is part of England’s 14-member squad for the T20I series and could make his international debut this week.
With Jofra Archer, Chris Woakes and Mark Wood on the road to recovering from their respective injuries, England will see a new pace attack comprising Tymal Mills, David Willey, Chris Jordan and Reece Topley.
Tymal Mills will be good to play for England: Sussex head coach
Mills picked 15 wickets in nine games for Sussex in the T20 Blast and missed the Hampshire game due to an injury.
Sussex head coach James Kirtley said Mills is fit to play for England in the T20I series after recovering from his toe injury.
“He (Tymal Mills) has got a cut across his big toe which has had to be glued. It is healing well,” Kirtley was quoted as saying by The Argus.
“He had a bowl (on Sunday) but it wasn’t quite right to go full out. He is with England this week and he will be good to go there.
“The Sussex faithful always want to see our best players playing for Sussex but we also have to manage other expectations as well,” the Sussex coach added.
The first T20 International between England and India will be played at the Rose Bowl in Southampton.
