Post their shambolic 2015 World Cup campaign, England seems to have sorted out their plans and are poised to be great challengers to the favorites. Their recent performances back home and the form of many players prove that they are definitely a team in the reckoning.Here is a look at their predicted XI as they prepare to take their flight to India next year for the 2016 World Twenty20.
#1 Jason Roy
Often compared to Kevin Pietersen for his ‘switch-hits’, this South Africa-born youngster is a man to look out for. He is someone who is known for his destructive batting at the top of the order and his big shots. He can score at will and can take the match away from the opposition.
He is also a brilliant fielder and can save a few runs with his electric fielding. England’s chances of putting up a big score will largely depend upon this man’s performance.
