IND Vs ENG: When And Where To Watch 1st T20I In Kolkata
T20 Cricket World Cup: After the debacle in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series loss in Australia, India has shifted its focus on the white-ball format including five T20Is and three ODIs against England. The iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata will host the T20I series opener on Wednesday.
The Suryakumar Yadav-led side will be bolstered with the return of pace veteran Mohammed Shami ahead of the all-important Champions Trophy, scheduled to start next month. Shami last played for India in the ODI World Cup final against Australia in November 2023. He underwent surgery for a heel injury that ruled him out of the action till November last year when he turned up for his state side Bengal in the Ranji Trophy.
On the other hand, pacer Mark Wood will make his return to the team for the first time since August. He will join Jofra Archer and Jamie Overton in England's pace-attack as the visitors announced their playing XI for the series opener on Tuesday.
