England name their playing XI for the first T20I of a limited-overs tour against India, scheduled for Wednesday. The team is led by Harry Brook, with the XI announced ahead of a packed schedule that includes five T20Is and three ODIs between 1 and 19 July. Multiple reports agree that Jofra Archer is not included in the playing XI for the first T20I. One report also specifies that Adil Rashid is absent, while another notes Rashid’s exclusion alongside Archer. Another variation of the team announcement repeats the absence of Archer but lists a Brook-led side, indicating Archer does not play and that the final XI does not feature Rashid as well. The announcements collectively confirm the match timing, the overall tour format and window, and the key selection changes for England heading into the opening T20I against India.
