India vs England predicted playing XIs
India might not ring in many major changes considering the series is just one match old. If Abhishek Sharma is fit enough to bat, he will play and if not then in that case Dhruv Jurel might come in. India would be eager to play Mohammed Shami, if he is indeed fit to make his international comeback since the 2023 World Cup final. In that case Ravi Bishnoi could make way for him.
India predicted playing XI: Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (wk), Suryakumar Yadav (c), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi/Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakravarthy
England have made one like-for-like change to the side bringing in right-arm pacer Brydon Carse for Gus Atkinson. They have also added another wicketkeeper — Jamie Smith — to the 12-player squad. His addition has been forced Jacob Bethell’s illness. He might make the playing XI if Bethell does not recover in time.
England predicted XI: Jos Buttler (c), Ben Duckett, Philip Salt (wk), Jamie Smith/Jacob Bethell (wk), Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jamie Overton, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood
