After going down in the test series and ODI as well, Eoin Morgan’s men will be hoping to change things around as they set to take on India in the first T20 international game at Kanpur. They have won the toss and have elected to bowl first.

Virat Kohli is leading the side for the first time in the T20 internationals after MS Dhoni stepped down from the post on January 4.

After conquering the One-Day International (ODI) series by 2-1, the Virat Kohli-led Indian side will be aiming to make the most of their limited overs experience, as the T20I rubber is the last before the International Cricket Council (ICC) Champions Trophy starting from June 1.

Playing XI for India:

Earlier in the day, promising spinner from Jammu and Kashmir, Parvez Rasool has received his T20 debut cap from former spinner Sarandeep Singh. Rasool has been recalled to the squad as spinners duo Ashwin and Jadeja has been rested for the series.

All eyes will be on the likes of seasoned campaigners Suresh Raina and Nehra — making a comeback after almost a year’s lay-off.

India will hope to end their opening woes and try a new combination with Lokesh Rahul and Pant at the top followed by the settled middle order comprising Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, wicketkeeper-batsman MS Dhoni and Raina.

The Indian squad had reached Kanpur on January 23 after which the players were seen practicing hard at the net sessions and getting ready to take on the English opponents.

On January 25, wicket-keeper batsman Mahendra Singh Dhoni spent a lot of time on the ground facing pacer Jasprit Bumrah’s attack, while batsman Manish Pandey was also seen tackling few speedy chunks by Ashish Nehra.

The bowling department will have the likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Pandya apart from Nehra while Bhuvneshwar Kumar may get a look-in depending on the conditions.

Leg-spinner Amit Mishra is most certainly to get a look-in ahead of Chahal with Jammu and Kashmir off-spinner Rasool.

Yesterday, while addressing the press ahead of the first game against England, captain Virat Kohli said that it is important to back youngsters in the shortest format of the game so that they can gain some confidence and can take this forward in limited overs cricket and also in Test matches.

Kohli said: ‘The idea behind youngsters in the team is to give to them confidence.”

“Team India have a clear vision for youngsters joining the T2OI team,” he added.

On the other hand, England, after pipping India by five runs in the third ODI and avoiding a whitewash, will be aiming to finish their dismal tour on a winning note. The visitors had earlier lost the five-match Test rubber 0-4.

The visitors have added more firepower in their bowling with the addition of right-armed Chris Jordan and left-arm quick Tymal Mills.

The English side will once again bank on their top order, comprising the likes of Jason Roy, Alex Hales, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan and Moeen Ali to post a competitive total on the board.

Squads:

India: Lokesh Rahul, Manish Pandey, Virat Kohli(c), Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni(w), Hardik Pandya, Yuzvendra Chahal, Parvez Rasool, Jasprit Bumrah, Ashish Nehra

England: Jason Roy, Sam Billings, Joe Root(c), Eoin Morgan, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler(w), Moeen Ali, Chris Jordan, Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid, Tymal Mills
