After a disappointing showing in Belfast, where they were whitewashed 2-0 by Ireland in the two-match T20I series, India will look to start afresh when they take on England in the first of the five-match T20I series on Wednesday.
The series opener will be played at the Riverside Ground in Chester-le-Street.
All eyes will once again be on 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who is waiting in the wings and hoping to create history by becoming India’s youngest international debutant. After warming the bench for both games in Ireland, which the Men in Blue ended up losing, the chances of Sooryavanshi featuring in the England series are now significantly higher.
The reigning world champions will also be keen to assert their dominance over England, a side India have always enjoyed playing against. India hold a clear superiority over the Three Lions, having never lost a multi-game T20I series. England managed to draw a two-match series in 2012/13, but since then, India have won every T20I series they have played against them.
