“I think they will go with Phil Salt if Dawid Malan is not right, and I have no worries about him coming in. My heart says England, but my head says India. Frankly, any of the four sides left in the tournament could win it. In T20 cricket, it’s who turns up on the day. I hope that is England on Thursday.”
