India will take on England in a five-match T20 International series starting Friday (March 12) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. While England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) picked a fairly experienced squad, the BCCI has selected some newcomers who will be eager to make their debut for the national team.
Given that India will be hosting this year’s T20 World Cup, this series holds much importance for both sides.
The last time Eoin Morgan-led side toured the country, they lost the three-match series to Virat Kohli’s India 1-2. In fact, they have lost their previous two bilateral series against the Men in Blue.
