After a disappointing outing against Ireland, Team India is set to cross the Irish sea to face England in a 5-match T20I series. The men in Blue faced an unlikely 2-0 whitewash at the hands of Ireland in the two-match T20I series. However, Shreyas Iyer’s men will know that a new series means a new day. The series opener will be played at the Riverside Ground in Chester-le-Street.
All eyes will be on the teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who is edging closer to a potential international debut. The 15-year-old remained on the sidelines during the two-match series in Ireland, but with India looking to freshen up their XI, he could finally get his opportunity against England. If selected, Sooryavanshi would become the youngest player ever to represent India in international cricket.

India will also head into the series with confidence, backed by an outstanding record against England in T20Is. The reigning world champions have never lost a bilateral T20I series to the Three Lions. England’s best result came in the 2012/13 two-match series, which ended in a draw, while every subsequent T20I series between the two sides has gone India’s way.
