India and England will play each other in a five-match T20 International (T20I) series starting January 22 in Kolkata. The series will precede the three-match One-Day International (ODI) series and the Champions Trophy.
India have shown that they have a deep talent pool and we can see some new faces in the T20Is. While most of the top players like Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Rishabh Pant, among others might take a break after a gruelling Test series in Australia, it paves way for other players to stake claim for a place in the team.
