With the 2021 T20 World Cup just a few months away, this is an important series for Team India. It is important for Virat Kohli and the Team India management to get the combinations right ahead of the major tournament.

The likes of KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan are all fighting for the opening spots. and there are many players hoping to cement a spot in the middle-order as well. The management could use the series against England to experiment with different combinations.

Pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar is set to make a comeback in the series after a long layoff due to an injury. He hasn't featured in an international game for over a year. Kumar took part in last year's IPL when he injured his hamstring midway through the tournament. Almost all the players who are likely to make it into the T20 World Cup 2021 squad will be plying their trade in the IPL.
