Coming back to today’s warm-up match, Indian team management would look to test the players who are not an automatic selection for the playing 11. It would be interesting to see whether KL Rahul or Ishan Kishan would get a chance as an opener today. Hardik Pandya bowling fitness has been a concern for the Indian team management in recent times and Shardul Thakur may get a chance in today’s warm-up game given spearhead Jasprit Bumrah is likely to rested ahead of marquee clash against Pakistan.

England, on the other hand, would look to get a team combination right without charismatic all-rounder Ben Stokes and pacer Jofra Archer. However, England cricket team still looks a formidable side without the two key players. The return of Jos Buttler in the team set-up after a family break would certainly boost English top-order. But the major concern would be the form of captain Eoin Morgan as he failed to even manouver the strike in recently-concluded Indian Premier League during cruch situations.
Here are the squads of both teams:
India Squad for T20 WC: Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Ishan Kishan, Virat Kohli(c), Rishabh Pant(w), Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ravichandran Ashwin, Mohammed Shami, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Rahul Chahar, Varun Chakaravarthy.
England Squad for T20 WC: Jason Roy, Dawid Malan, Liam Livingstone, Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler(w), Eoin Morgan(c), Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, David Willey, Mark Wood, Adil Rashid, Chris Jordan, Tymal Mills, Sam Billings.
