Neither Arshdeep Singh nor Deepak Hooda found a place in India’s playing 11 in the second T20I at Edgbaston, Birmingham on Saturday. Rishabh Pant will open alongside skipper Rohit Sharma as Ishan Kishan has been benched

England captain Jos Buttler won the toss and elected to bowl. Announcing his playing 11, the dashing opener said that Reece Topley and Tymal Mills miss out and are being replaced by David Willey and debutant Richard Gleeson. 

“We are going to bowl first. Willey and Gleeson come in for Topley and Mills. Excited for him (Gleeson) to make his debut today. It’s a great chance to bounce back, expect us to come back harder today. It’s a fantastic ground, India get a great support here as well,” Buttler said at the toss. 

Rohit Sharma said that the team would look to keep attacking. Kohli, Jadeja, Bumrah and Pant have been brought back into the side. 

“We would have batted first. Looks like a good pitch, it has been used before for the Blast game. We just need to adjust quickly and adapt our game. We have four changes. Kohli, Jadeja, Bumrah are back, and we have one more change. These guys are one of the best teams in the world, so we want to challenge ourselves. We want to back our game in Southampton. We want to be fearless, but we need to play according to the situation. We know there will be some failures along the way,” Indian captain Rohit Sharma said at the toss.
