The destructive duo of Jos Buttler alongside Philip Salt is expected to open the innings for England. The number 3 spot can be taken by Jonny Bairstow or Will Jacks. The middle-order will have the likes of Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali and Sam Curran. Except Brook, all these players are expected to roll over their arms as well.
In the list of genuine bowlers, Jofra Archer, Chris Woakes and Mark Wood are expected to take the pacers spot. In the spin department, veteran Adil Rashid will be taking the responsibility of getting wickets in the middle-overs.
