England beat Pakistan by 3-0 in ODI series to get a clean-sweep. Now England’s regular captain, Eoin Morgan has returned with his squad against Pakistan in the T20 series after completing their required period of self-isolation.
Ben Stokes, who has nominated the England’s Team Captain against Pakistan in the ODI series but now he didn’t find a place in the team against Pakistan in T20 series.
Last Monday, England players have tested positive after series against Sri Lanka and the whole squad was sent into self isolation and due to this critical situation England hired the new squad against Pakistan.
Now, Eoin Morgan came back with his team of Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali, who have returned with negative Covid-19 tests.
After giving a great performance in the ODI series, Saqib Mahmood have earned his place in T20 squad against Pakistan.
Due to family’s appointment, Coach Chris Silverwood will skip the series and now Paul Collingwood will handled all his duties.
“We have selected a T20 squad that sees the return of many of our most expected players after their period of isolation. Additionally, we have rewarded some of the players involved in the 50 over series win with selection which allows us to manage multi-formats players as we prepare for the much anticipated Test series against India,”
Silverwood said.
“It’s been a bit of special time for me. A week ago, no one was talking about me and I wasn’t part of the squad, but obviously everything has happened very quickly,”
Mahmood said.
T20 series starts at Trent Bridge on July 16 from 6pm.
