England has made two changes to their playing XI for the second T20I against India. Jofra Archer returns, replacing Saqib Mahmood, and Josh Tongue will make his T20I debut, taking the place of Luke Wood. The first T20I between the two teams ended without a result due to rain.
Archer’s comeback to the T20 format follows an outstanding Test series against New Zealand. Despite playing only two matches, he was named Player of the Series, claiming 11 wickets at an average of 22.81. Archer’s recent form has been impressive, as he was the leading wicket-taker for England in the Test series.
Tongue, known for his performances in the longer format, will now showcase his skills in T20 internationals. The pace bowler has earned his spot in the playing XI and is set to make his mark in white-ball cricket. The England squad for the match includes Phil Salt, Jos Buttler, Harry Brook (captain), and others.
