India bat first with three spinners as Sooryavanshi waits

The Story in Brief

India chose to bat first with three spinners in the opening T20I against England, leaving Sooryavanshi out of the XI. England made two changes from the team that played India in the T20 World Cup semi-final. Saqib Mahmood and Luke Wood came in, replacing Jofra Archer and Jamie Overton.

The Indian Opinion

The early focus on Sooryavanshi’s omission should not turn one team-sheet decision into a verdict on his prospects. India’s three-spinner combination points to a selection call for this match, while England’s changes also reflect a different contest from the World Cup semi-final. The first innings and England’s revised attack will offer the clearest evidence of whether those choices worked.
