There are. It’s a very weak squad as wellFive T20’s isn’t there?!
Looking forward to the Tests like.
line up for the first (which is tomorrow actually) is Bairstow, Banton,Vince, Morgan, Denly, Billings, Curran, Rashid, Jordan, Mahmood, Brown
some exciting selections. But Denly and Vince in particular should be nowhere near

Think Banton looks a star in the making.
Very early in his career granted but looks some player!!

Denly is a decent bowling option in T20-need a 6th bowling option.
I get that. But he’s 33/34?

Decent t20 player, great fielder I don't understand why he wouldnt be.
Pleased some cricket is back on this T20 world cup qualification has been a hard watch bar the odd game. Like most said looks a weak squad but exciting in that there is a number of the next breed of players being trialled.

One thing's for sure got more interest even in the T20s than that shite between the two today. Come on the All Blacks

Words just fail me they really do.

Why would you want your country beat in any sport?

The snobbery of "Rugger" types especially towards football

Each to their own I guess, however watching this and the way the England rugby players have kept their focus, despite some harsh decisions ,football could certainly learn from imo.
Back on topic
One look at list of white ball central contacts and you realize how much this X1 playing tomorrow is very much a 2nd XI.
Moeen Ali (Worcestershire), Jofra Archer (Sussex), Jonny Bairstow (Yorkshire), Jos Buttler (Lancashire), Joe Denly (Kent), Eoin Morgan (Middlesex), Adil Rashid (Yorkshire), Joe Root (Yorkshire), Jason Roy (Surrey), Ben Stokes (Durham), Chris Woakes (Warwickshire), Mark Wood (Durham).
Both Denly and Jordan are cover options for next year's IT20 World Cup.

Warm up won.
Bairstow 78*
bowlers went for some tap, not sure if short boundaries given the number of 6’s that England scored

Why don't we use Tymal Mills in T20?

He’s had a poor few years. Probably injured quite a lot I’d imagine as well.
